Ryanair Flight Makes Emergency Landing After Window Shattered Mid-Air, Passenger Partially Sucked OutPreviousNext

A Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, made an emergency landing after engine debris shattered a cabin window mid-flight, causing sudden decompression. A 61-year-old Serbian passenger seated by the window was partially sucked out but was restrained by his wife and fellow passengers. He sustained friction burns and other injuries and was hospitalized in stable condition. The aircraft landed safely in Thessaloniki, and investigations into the incident are ongoing.
