Man Partially Sucked Out of Broken Ryanair Plane Window During Flight, Fellow Passenger Says A man was nearly sucked out of the window of a Ryanair flight mid-air after the aircraft’s window detached during a journey from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, according to a fellow passenger who described the incident to Greek media. The event occurred on Friday, July 10, when the plane, a U.S.-made Boeing 737-800, experienced a broken window while en route. Passengers on board reported hearing a loud noise resembling a tire bursting, followed by a sudden decompression. The passenger, identified as a 61-year-old tourist from Serbia, was pulled back inside by other passengers after his head and shoulders were partially outside the window. He was hospitalized with friction burns and injuries to his neck and shoulders but was otherwise reported to be in good condition. The incident unfolded when most passengers were asleep, according to the witness, who described the moment as chaotic. “There were screams… for a moment I thought someone had accidentally opened the emergency door,” the woman said, speaking to Radio Thessaloniki. She added that oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling, and a strong smell filled the cabin. The man, who had not unbuckled his seatbelt, was pulled back inside by nearby passengers. The plane eventually landed safely at Thessaloniki Airport around 7:10 a.m. local time, with the remaining passengers transported to their destination via a replacement aircraft. Greek media reported that the window was broken by debris from one of the plane’s engines, which detached mid-flight. Ryanair confirmed the incident in a statement, noting that the flight returned to Thessaloniki shortly after takeoff and that the aircraft landed normally.#easa #boeing_737_800 #ryanair #thessaloniki_airport #memmingen
