Left, meaning cockpit?
Heater failure or bird strike, I would imagine.

Yes, it was said to be a cracked cockpit windscreen. Exact cause not given AFAIK.

First 787 in Helsinki, or first 787 cracked windscreen ?
Neither, by a long chalk.
Or did you mean first diversion of an All Nippon 787 to Helsinki with a cracked windscreen ? :O

Is there any reason to do anything at all if it's an outer layer?

What it says on the checklist and how people may be reacting post the the Chinese incident are two different things. With a long flight ahead over northern Russia I have some sympathy for the pilot in command's decision. There do seem to be noticeably more such incidents recently.
