On a Ryanair flight, a passenger was almost dragged through a broken window.

A 61-year-old Serbian passenger was nearly pulled through a shattered window of a Ryanair flight today but was pulled back inside by other passengers. The incident occurred on a flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, which had already turned back to the departure airport due to engine issues. The window was broken by debris from one of the plane’s engines, according to Italian news agency ANSA. The man suffered injuries to his ribs and burns likely caused by friction. According to reports from German news agency DPA, a loud bang was heard shortly after takeoff, followed by the shattering of the glass pane. A head and shoulders of the Serbian passenger were reportedly sucked out of the window. The plane safely landed at the Greek airport, and the man was hospitalized. He was conscious but in shock. Three other passengers were also taken to the hospital as a precaution but later discharged. Ryanair has provided an alternative flight, while authorities continue to investigate the cause of the engine damage.

One of the passengers, a 61-year-old Serbian national, was nearly pulled out of the plane due to strong air currents but was rescued by the safety belt and nearby passengers. The pilot diverted the flight to Thessaloniki airport, where the injured man was taken to the hospital with injuries to his neck. Three other passengers were also taken to the hospital as a precaution. Ryanair has arranged a replacement flight, and investigations into the cause of the engine material failure are ongoing.
