Ryanair Flight Suffers Engine Failure After Takeoff, Passenger Partially Sucked Through Broken Window
A Ryanair Boeing 737-800 experienced an engine failure shortly after takeoff from Thessaloniki, Greece, on July 10, causing a fan blade to break off and shatter a window. A 61-year-old passenger was partially sucked through the broken window but was rescued by fellow travelers. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board found bird remains in the engine, suggesting a possible bird strike, and is investigating the incident, including potential similarities to past engine failures. The plane made an emergency landing without further injuries.
