Narrative:
While climbing through FL300 the first officer side windshield suddenly and without warning; shattered. It remained intact yet was clearly shattered. We immediately advised ATC while descending with our O2 masks on just as a precaution. We diverted to ZZZ as the aircraft was no longer airworthy. The first officer and I both suspected that it may have been a pressurization issue as we had a left pack issue in the morning and earlier in that day the previous crew had a right pack issue... However the windshield integrity clearly was the main issue. More serious evaluation of pack problems and better qc of windshields.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: CRJ-700 Captain reported executing an uneventful diversion due to a right windshield failure.
Narrative: While climbing through FL300 the FO side windshield suddenly and without warning; shattered. It remained intact yet was clearly shattered. We immediately advised ATC while descending with our O2 masks on just as a precaution. We diverted to ZZZ as the aircraft was no longer airworthy. The FO and I both suspected that it MAY have been a pressurization issue as we had a L pack issue in the morning and earlier in that day the previous crew had a R pack issue... however the windshield integrity clearly was the main issue. More serious evaluation of Pack problems and better QC of windshields.
