The wife of a Serbian citizen described the horrific incident: We pulled him back into the plane, he was halfway out

A woman described a terrifying incident on a Ryanair flight from Greece to Germany where her husband was partially pulled out of the plane by air pressure after the window broke. The 61-year-old man suffered severe injuries including head trauma, broken ribs, and burns from friction. His wife, Svetlana Maksimović, told Greek TV ERT that he was still in shock and hospitalized with physical and psychological trauma. A aviation expert hired by the family believes part of the plane’s engine detached, hit the window, causing it to break. This led to rapid decompression creating strong suction pulling the man partly outside the aircraft. Greek authorities are investigating the incident alongside the expert. A pilot confirmed the event occurred shortly after takeoff, which is safer than at higher altitudes where decompression could be more dangerous. Unverified photos of damaged engines appeared in Greek media. Passengers reported hearing a loud bang before oxygen masks deployed. The flight was diverted back to Thessaloniki, and passengers were later transferred to Memmingen via replacement aircraft. Ryanair confirmed the window separated shortly after departure but did not comment on the

Bias read (Center): The article presents a factual account of a tragic aviation incident without overt ideological framing. While the incident involves a national carrier (Ryanair) and international travel, the focus remains on the technical and medical aspects rather than political agendas. The reporting includes both

Wife describes horror on Ryanair flight: Husband nearly sucked through broken window

A passenger was severely injured during a dramatic incident on a Ryanair flight from Greece to Germany. The man, who was sitting by the window and wearing a seatbelt, was partially pulled out of the plane through a broken window due to a sudden decompression caused by a motor fragment hitting the window. His wife described the event to the Greek public television station ERT, stating that he suffered injuries to his shoulders and neck and is still in shock. A technical expert hired by the family believes a part of one of the plane's engines broke off, hit the window, and caused the decompression. The incident occurred shortly after takeoff, which likely prevented more severe consequences. Ryanair confirmed the incident but did not comment on the cause.

Bias read (Center): The article provides a balanced account of the incident, quoting both the victim's wife and a technical expert. It does not show clear favoritism toward any side, focusing on the factual description of the event and the responses from involved parties.

"Horror on a Ryanair flight: Husband almost sucked through a broken window"

Na letu Ryanaira iz Grčke u Njemačku desio se dramatičan incident gdje je muž putnika bio privremeno izvučen iz letjelice uslijed naglog dekompresije nakon što je prozor zrakoplova razbiven. Supruga putnika, Srpska državljanka Svetlana Maksimović, opisala je kako je sila zraka izvukla njegove gornji dio tijela iznad letjelice, rezultirajući ozljedama vrata, ramena i opeklinama. Putnici su uspješno povukli muža natrag u zrakoplov, dok je zrakoplovni tehnički stručnjak predložio da je dio motora pogodio prozor. Incident je došao na vrh nakon polijetanja, a pilot je prekinuo let i vratio se u Solun. Ryanair je potvrdio incident ali nije dao detaljnije informacije o uzroku.

Bias read (Center): Članak neutralno opisuje incident bez jasne političke agende. Iako se događaj dogodio na zračnom putu, ne postoji jasan politički okvir ili ključni politički akt koji bi utjecao na analizu. Vrijednosti i perspektive koje se koriste su objektivne i ne pokazuju preferencu ni jedne strane.

A Ryanair pilot cried, the wife of a Serb who miraculously survived: If we die, we die together...

On Friday, during a flight from Salonica to Munich operated by Ryanair, a window in the aircraft shattered mid-flight, causing decompression and panic among passengers. The incident forced the plane to make an emergency landing at the Salonica Airport. A 61-year-old Serbian passenger, Ljubisa Karovic, was partially outside the aircraft during the event but was secured by his wife, Svetlana Grkovic, who described the harrowing experience. She recounted how she held onto her husband’s legs while he was half-out of the plane, saying, 'If we die, we die together.' The pilot reportedly landed the plane professionally despite the chaos, though he was seen crying afterward. Karovic suffered head injuries and is currently hospitalized, unable to speak. The incident has prompted an investigation, and some passengers opted out of continuing their journey due to psychological trauma.
