How can air pressure affect the window glass of an airplane?
Punongkahoy
Other than the force of the air on the windscreen as the aircraft moves forward through the air (a function of speed and air density), the primary affect of air pressure on window glass in an aircraft is from the force of cabin air pressure pushing out against the window. This force can be in the neighborhood of 8 pounds per square inch in the average commercial aircraft. Because of this rather significant force, windows in pressurized aircraft generally are small and sturdily built.

Why don't window glasses breaks when air pressure is applied?
Because the glass isn't actually a solid - it's a 'super-cooled' liquid. Since the glass is able to flex, it 'absorbs' most changes in air-pressure. This stops the glass from breaking, unless the pressure is so great or so suddent that it causes the glass to crack - creating a weakness.
Why do submarines have thick glass in their windows?
Because of the high pressure that is exerted from the water on the window. According to the movie Titanic, at about 4 km ~ 2.5 miles, the pressure exerted by the water on the window almost equal 3.5 tons/in^2. Therefore, a window of thickness 9 inches are used.
