Any idea what happened here?
http://flightaware.com/live/flight/A...130Z/CYYZ/CYQR
Seems that they had started their descent into YQR (dropped to FL220), and then, wham, they turn around, climb back to FL310, and land in YWG 35 minutes later.
Don't see anything on CADORS. After being at YWG for an hour, they took off and flew to Regina, so anyone have an idea what happened?

An Air Canada Airbus A320-200, registration C-FGYL performing flight AC-791 from Toronto,ON (Canada) to Los Angeles,CA (USA) with 136 people on board, was enroute at FL340 about 90nm northwest of Chicago's O'Hare Airport when the first officer's windshield cracked. The crew descended the aircraft to FL230 and diverted to Chicago O'Hare for a safe landing about 25 minutes later.
The Canadian TSB reported the NTSB rated the occurrence a serious incident and requested the download of the black boxes. The window will undergo testing under supervision of the NTSB.
NAV Canada reported FAA staff had reported the windscreen shattered.
A replacement Airbus A320-200 registration C-GKOD reached Los Angeles with a delay of 5:45 hours.

From the CADORS, an interesting one:
"2011-09-23
The Air Canada Boeing 767-375 aircraft (C-GSCA, operating as flight ACA882) had landed after a scheduled IFR flight from Toronto (LBPIA) (CYYZ) to Copenhagen International Airport, Kastrup (Denmark) (EKCH). SAS Airlines Technical Services reported that they were tasked to replace the aircraft's angle of attack (AoA) sensor. Due to the short time available to effect the sensor change, the cure time of the sealer was not going to be sufficient. Maintenance Operations Control raised a production permit to release the aircraft without the sealer, however, the maintenance technician still applied the sealer and also applied high speed tape to retain the sealer. During the return flight, the high speed tape shifted during flight causing the AoA sensor to fail. Air Canada Maintenance staff and SAS Airlines Maintenance staff are investigating. "

Calgary police are looking for whoever is responsible for pointing a laser beam at aircraft on approach to the Calgary airport.
Two pilots reported incidents of laser beams entering their cockpits on Sunday, Sept. 18, 2011, just after 9:00 p.m.
Police say an Air Canada Jazz and a Westjet flight were both on their final approach when the incidents happened.
There were no reported injuries to the flight crews.
