Q: Why are aircraft windshields not unbreakable?

anshabhi From a materials engineering standpoint, cockpit windshields, typically weighing between 25-40 pounds, depending on the type of windshield build, are typically constructed of several layers: (1) A glass face-plate, roughly 1/10" thick; (2) A Polyvinyl Butryal (PVB) layer, about 1...

lolwut?
Well, if you were a pilot, you crashed, theres a fire behind you blocking your exit, do you a. break the window or b. run in circles, scream and shout? If the window was unbreakable it would always be b
I don't think that's how it works…
Same reason windshields in cars aren't unbreakable. The sides of the car are crush in, theres a fire behind you, do you a. bust the window out or b. you get the idea

Anyway, I've reviewed all 10, and for most of them, the information is no more than a duplicate of something easily found elsewhere on the internet. Answers should be more comprehensive and questions should be more specific, but I'm not really seeing an upward trend in either category.

@ShadowWizard That is unmistaken different
@rene but why?? What's the big bug you all talked about?
you can vote to migrate to ANY site. Even yahoo answers....
and there seem to be no limit
@rene wow, probably by posting direct requests, bypassing the GUI?
yes

and I think Anna hates that ...
I bet @nic found it... and if not, he's regretting not finding it first.... :D

yes, they tried it

Btw, {se-site}/users/signup/thanks allows you to change the username bypassing 30-days limit. Worth reporting?
You can already overcome that limit by signing up on a different site, right?
