Here is the flight:

Flight profile doesn't look much different than the one the previous Friday.
When did it crack? Was it on descent, or did it not rise to a critical level?
Local Fox Station reported landing with no emergency declared:

Another local station with video. MX staff with extra workload. SWA 718 went on to KHOU with another bird:

I'm shocked the flight to HOU was only delayed 35 minutes.

Flight was going to MCI to begin with. Outer pane was the one that shattered so there was no structural issue and no emergency was declared.

Flew out of Washington National alot decades ago. Lots of birds on the field due to close proximity of Potomac River. They used to fire off loud gun-like blasts to scare the birds off. I believe a goose in the engine might be worse than one on the windshield. Glad all landed well.

"...multiple redundant layers..." Translation: "2" Aviation "news" reporting at its best.
