A rather eventful flight.
Crew observes inner windshield panel fracturing, diverts, then right-side windscreen blows out, injuring crew member, ripping out glareshield, damaging FCU and avionics.
Standard procedure of course is to get to breathable atmosphere ASAP but not when you're over the eastern Himalayas. One report indicated FL240 was the lowest initial altitude. It would be cold, noisy, with flying shrapnel and a lot of decisions to be made.
