Boeing Issues Windshield Warning

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, 2003

(AP) Alitalia Flight 610 was over the Atlantic on its Rome-to-New York flight last July when the Boeing 777 seemed to shudder. Passengers smelled smoke.

The cabin crew ran up to the flight deck as passengers screamed, said Bruce Northrup, a New York City banker returning from a wedding with his wife and 15-year-old son. "People were yelling, `Tell us what's going on,"' he said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Edited to add: sorry, despite reading and then searching "Boeing" and "windshield," I did not notice this has already been posted.
