All it says is that there were three incidents where the windshield heat wiring shorted out and resulted in a cracked windshield. I knew I could expect foul-mouthed Tom to defend Boeing and the airlines. tommy is not far enough up the food chain for those to be his advocacies. I would think that if windshield wires got hot enough to crack glass that would qualify as a fire, even to the FAA. I'm sure it would have had to be hot enough to melt the insulation on the wires leading to the window. Fire means smoke and that is a completely different issue. The 777 has had one fire, created by the misapplication of a connector in a PAX entertainment system; years ago. Sure it wasn't one of your 8-tracks?
