More from CBS4 Denver:
The pilots on a Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Washington, D.C., decided to bring their jet down in Denver after the cockpit windshield shattered above 30,000 feet.
The crew repeatedly told the nearly 200 passengers to remain calm until they landed.
A photo of the windshield taken by a passenger shows the glass was lined with cracks but did not fall from its frame.
I'm super curious how this happens with reinforced glass made for jets.
Maybe a bigger airliner ahead of them kicked up a stone. Hate it when that happens. 😂
Jetliner windshields have layers of glass that can be 2 inches thick. Delta confirmed the windshield crack and said the crew diverted the jet out of an abundance of caution.
This might be one of the few times in recent memory when the use of that phrase actually made sense!!
