A Boeing plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Japan on Saturday after the crew found a crack in the cockpit window.
The fracture was found on the outside of the four layers of windows surrounding the cabin, an All Nippon Airways spokesman said.
The pilot turned around and returned to Sapporo-New Chitose Airport. The flight had made a trip of about an hour and a half to Toyama when the crack was found.
Fortunately, no injuries were reported among the 59 passengers and six crew members.
“The crack was not something that affected flight control or pressurization,” the spokesperson said.
The plane was a 737-800 plane, not the 737 MAX 9 plane that made headlines last week when a cockpit panel exploded on an Alaska Airlines plane just minutes into its flight, a catastrophic failure that miraculously caused no deaths. .
The door plug was torn off the plane and fell 16,000 feet into the backyard of a Portland, Oregon school teacher.
Federal investigators probing the near-disastrous fuselage panel explosion are looking into the possibility that the hardware that was supposed to keep it safe was never installed in the first place.

“Spirit knows that if you make too much noise and cause too much trouble, you’ll be shaken,” Joshua Dean, a former Spirit quality auditor who says he was fired after pointing out poorly drilled holes in fuselages, told the newspaper.
