Wow...that's scary. Cockpit glass are many layers thick, so talk about hard snowballs, eh  ;D

They must of been really big hailstones, eh

Doesn't suprise me. At 8000ft the hailstones are going to be pretty solid. And when the plane is going 500mph+ each one would almost be like a bullet. I doubt the effect would be much different if you fired a shotgun at the windscreen.
