Windshields crack all the time. That is why they are easily replaceable. I doubt temperature differential near the ground would cause a problem. More likely birds or other debris. Stress cracks are possible with the twisting of the plane during landing, but that is almost always caused by shortcomings of the installer.

Like was said, all that was reported was that it cracked - for all we knew they hit a Canada Goose at landing...
Not a lot of Canada Geese at Melbourne. Perhaps a high-jumping kangaroo?
thts funny...
This means now that there something structurally wrong with the area around the window for it to keep cracking.
