When a windshield is broken, can you tell if it was broken from inside or outside of the car?

My windshield recently spiderwebbed after a small accident. After the accident, myself and my passenger looked the car over in pretty close detail. The windshield was not broken at this time. I come back the next day (after drinking) and find that the windshield is spiderwebbed on the passenger side. Is there a way I can tell from which side the windshield was broken (inside or outside of the car).

Yeah...it was broken from the side the cracks are on....it is a two layer glass with plastic sheet in between.

It is probably chipped on the side from which it was broken. It should be apparent...

Assuming your eyes work it shouldn't be too big of a task.

i had forgotten that windshields had the plastic in between the sheets of glass to keep them from shattering in your lap in an accident.... brain fart....
