The details are still missing but I was informed that it was the pilot window that shattered. The 2 place taxied up next to the iv-p to view the damage. Beyond that I know nothing. I don't know if the window AD was complied with or not. It does however make me wonder if iv-p's are better off flown pressurized at lower altitudes where the pressure differential is lower.
