Ryanair Flight Returns After Window Failure Partially Sucks Passenger Out
A Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Germany made an emergency return after a window blew out mid-flight, causing rapid cabin decompression.

Greek officials suspect engine debris struck the window, though investigations are ongoing. Karovic is hospitalized with serious injuries, and the couple has engaged legal counsel.
