Cracks in the windscreen of an aircraft are not that uncommon. At least one or two occurred a week on C-5s and C-17s where I was stationed they actually make a special kind of tape that can be used for certain kinds of cracks in lieu of replacing the entire section of windscreen.

All new aircraft have teething troubles some have more than others nothing to see here but the media making mountains out of mole hills.
