This is the best summary I could come up with:
A passenger on a Florida-bound charter flight from the U.K. saw the plane was missing a window when the jetliner was thousands of feet in the air, according to investigators.
The plane turned around and safely returned to England without anyone onboard suffering any injuries on the early October flight.
When the flight climbed past an altitude of 10,000 feet, passengers were allowed to unfasten their seat belts.
A man walking toward the back of the plane told investigators he noticed the cabin noise getting louder and a window caught his attention.
The aircraft got to an altitude of just over 14,500 feet before the pilots stopped climbing any higher and eventually decided to return to Stansted.
“The windows appear to have sustained thermal damage and distortion because of elevated temperatures while illuminated for approximately four to five and a half hours during filming,” the report found.
