Reminds me when my ship (a Fokker F100) was in the newspaper because we seemed to have repaired our "windows" with "duct tape" so they could not fall out...

In fact this so called high speed tape is used to cover the silicon gel around the windshield. This is a standard procedure when you have to replace the windshields. Just screwing them in would not help, because they are not waterthight, so you apply some sealant around it. Before it dries out you cover them with the tape.

So far, so good. Again a newspaper headline without a cause.
