A Ryanair flight traveling from Thessaloniki, Greece to Germany was forced to make an emergency landing Friday after a passenger was partially sucked out of a dislodged window shortly after takeoff. Passengers reported hearing a loud bang before the incident, and the man’s wife reportedly held onto his legs for approximately five minutes to prevent him from being pulled completely through the opening.
The incident occurred on a Ryanair flight departing Thessaloniki. According to multiple reports, passengers heard a loud bang followed by something striking the window, causing it to break. A passenger was then partially ejected from the aircraft due to the sudden decompression. The man’s wife is credited with preventing him from being fully sucked out of the plane by holding onto his legs for around five minutes until the flight could land.
The flight made an emergency landing, and the passenger received immediate medical attention. Details surrounding the cause of the window dislodgement remain unclear. Airport sources confirmed the incident but have not released further details regarding the passenger’s condition or the specifics of the decompression event.
While initial reports described a near-complete ejection, accounts indicate the passenger was partially sucked out before being secured. No right-leaning outlets reported on this story. The immediate cause of the window failure is still under investigation, leaving unresolved whether a pre-existing structural issue or an external impact led to the incident.
