An incident occurred on Sunday when a United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8, flying from Detroit to Los Angeles, was diverted to Salt Lake City after suffering a crack in the cockpit windshield. During the flight, an unknown object struck the windshield, causing glass shards that injured one of the pilots. The plane landed safely, and the passengers were transferred to another aircraft.
The NTSB investigation is looking into whether the impact was caused by a weather balloon, and the co-founder of WindBorne Systems suggested a possible link between the incident and its balloons. Although their system is designed to minimize risks, the incident has raised serious concerns, and the NTSB continues to investigate the nature of the impact.
