Video captured a JetBlue flight attendant explaining the situation to passengers — he says they were never in any grave danger and the issue has occurred before.

“JetBlue Flight 1052 from San Juan to Tampa diverted to Fort Lauderdale in an abundance of caution following a report of damage to one of the outer layers of the cockpit windscreen,” JetBlue said in a statement.
