- The article raises questions about 2 similar aircraft that had windshields crack during flight. Both were 777-200s operated by American Airlines.

Look into recent airframe activity. Both were affected by windshield cracks during their first long-haul flight after withdrawal from 6 months storage. N778AN and N762AN had been stored at KBFM Mobile Alabama since March 2020. Both were ferried to DFW in mid-September, then immediately dispatched from DFW to Madrid and Paris respectively.

Both experienced windshield cracks at altitude, requiring diversion

What question would that be? One for MH to gripe about Boeing or how about something due to storage or who made the windshields? DUH
