I’m not 100% sure, but it seems pretty important your windshield doesn’t explode inward when you’re flying a plane.

It would have only affected the pilots though but they were landing the plane

Oh, just the pilots. Thank god, I was worried /s

Before the last few weeks, were they just hiding all the incidents that were happening or there are just a lot more now?

It just wasn’t considered newsworthy. There’s been stuff like this for the entire existence of jetliners — although probably not as bad as since Boeing management sold out.

Not sure if there's just more reporting now or if the rate of incidents increased.

I'm starting to suspect Oregon is cursed. All of these recent incidents, including the shroom incident, have been in Oregon.
