Terrifying mid-air ordeal as Ryanair passenger is nearly sucked out of window

A Ryanair flight experienced a mid-air incident where a passenger was nearly sucked out of an open window, according to witnesses and officials. The event occurred while the plane was flying from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany. The passenger, identified as a tourist from Serbia, was hospitalized with friction burns but remained in stable condition. Witnesses described hearing a loud noise similar to a tire bursting, followed by a sudden decompression and the deployment of oxygen masks. Passengers near the affected area assisted in pulling the individual back into the cabin. Greek media reported that a piece of debris from the plane’s engine caused the window to break, while Ryanair stated the aircraft returned to Thessaloniki shortly after takeoff due to the incident and provided a replacement plane for the remaining passengers.
