A United Express Embraer E175 jet made an emergency landing at Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport after the first officer’s windshield shattered, sending glass into the cockpit. The flight, operated by Mesa Airlines, was headed to El Paso, Texas, with 72 people on board. No injuries were reported, and the aircraft did not lose cabin pressure. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will investigate the incident. Passengers were transferred to a replacement aircraft to continue their journey.
