Tonight, the "National Geographic Channel" (US) had an excellent feature about the very close call for the Captain (Lancaster?)! Saw just a bit, and I missed the superb FO's name (does he read Pprune?). What fantastic control of the situation, while trying to understand the radio and requesting a heading to the nearest suitable airport, never mind the roar through the missing windshield, with one or both Flight Attendants doing their best to hold on to the poor guy's legs!
For some reason, the correct bolts were designed on the -111 to hold the windshield on from the outside, in contradiction of standard practice elsewhere, according to the program. On the incident aircraft, some under-sized bolts had apparently been installed.
