Passenger Almost Sucked Out of Plane | Global News
Description
A Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki to Germany turned into a nightmare when a 61-year-old passenger was nearly sucked out of the plane after a window shattered mid-flight. His wife held his legs as half his body dangled outside for two terrifying minutes, shouting, “If we die, we die together.” With fellow passengers’ help, he was pulled back in, lost consciousness multiple times, and now faces serious injuries and burns — especially to his hand — while still in shock. The incident began with a loud explosion-like noise and sudden cabin pressure loss, possibly caused by an engine part breaking off and shattering the window. The plane returned to Thessaloniki shortly after takeoff, and the 18-year-old Boeing 737-800 is now under investigation by aviation authorities from the US, EU, and Greece to determine the exact cause of this harrowing emergency.
