LOT Polish Airlines Flight 45 Cracked Windshield Incident Simulated

Context: LOT Polish Airlines Flight 45 is a scheduled flight from Warsaw to Toronto. The Boeing 787-8 reported a crack in the windshield at FL380 (38,000 ft or 11,582 m) near Stavanger, Norway. The aircraft returned to Warsaw without further incident.

The aircraft involved was SP-LRC, the third Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner to join the fleet of @lotairlines . Interestingly, I actually flew on this aircraft from Toronto to Warsaw on July 6, 2023 on LO42 and Warsaw to Toronto on July 12, 2023 as LO45, which coincidentally, was the flight that had a cracked windshield on August 2022.

Fun fact: If you are Polish, you already know this, but for my non-Polish viewers, LOT means FLIGHT in Polish, so this is FLIGHT Polish Airlines. If you are Polish, I'm sorry for offending your national airline.
