The inner pane basically safeguards the load from the passengers during flight. When both the outer and middle panes break, then all the pressurization in the airplane would escape leading to decompression in the passenger cabin. A plane is pressurized for passengers' comfort as it climbs to a higher altitude.

This happened on British Airways Flight 5390 in 1990. An engineer had sight matched a retaining bolt on the windscreen and it blew out as the plane climbed through 17,000 ft. The explosive decompression pulled the captain halfway out of the broken window, and his clothes caught on the flight controls.
Some aircraft damage from lightning strikes includes broken lighting and windows, deformed antenna placements, and onboard electronics malfunctions. Other abnormalities or warnings on the flight deck, such as cabin air pressurization problems or false alarms, can occur after your airplane has been struck by lightning.
The impact of hitting birds during key sequences like takeoff or landing can damage the engines, windscreen, and nose cone, usually forcing the plane to return. Here's what happens during such an event.
Yes.On most passenger aircraft models, some cockpit windows can be opened. On the Airbus A320, for example, there are two windows that can be opened, one on the captain's side and one on the co-pilot's.
Families of victims and survivors may bring a lawsuit against the airline or aircraft. In some cases, it may be appropriate to sue a parts manufacturer. The federal government provides support to the families of those injured in airplane crashes.
Rest PeriodsRest breaks are to be at least 10 hours,with no allowable reduction, not even for unforeseen circumstances, reports Simple Flying. Pilots must have the opportunity to have eight hours of sleep during the rest break.
All pilots are taught to avoid them, since the combination of unpredictable downdrafts, updrafts, and hail can severely damage, or even destroy, a plane. A sudden 150 mph downdraft from a microburst or “rain bomb” can literally slam a plane into the ground.
The NTSB says that despite more people flying than ever, the accident rate for commercial flights has remained the same for the last two decades, and the survivability rate is a high 95.7 percent.
When an aircraft experiences turbulence, the plane can drop or change altitude suddenly. This is why pilots always caution passengers to buckle up and stay seated when they are experiencing flight turbulence. The sudden movements put passengers at risk.
