Ryanair Flight Returns After Window Failure Partially Sucks Passenger OutPreviousNext

A Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Germany made an emergency return after a window blew out mid-flight, causing rapid cabin decompression. Passenger Ljubisa Karovic was partially sucked out of the dislodged window but was held by his wife, Svetlana Maksimovic, and other passengers until the plane landed safely. 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.
