A Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki to Memmingen experienced an engine failure mid-air, causing debris to break a window and partially suck passenger Ljubiša Karović out of the plane. His wife, Svetlana Grković, held onto his legs for several minutes until fellow passengers helped pull him back inside. Karović, seriously injured with burns and unable to speak, remains hospitalized in Greece and has limited memory of the incident. His wife expressed gratitude to those who assisted during the ordeal.
