  • A passenger was nearly sucked out of a Ryanair flight window after it detached mid-air on a route from Greece to Germany.
  • Other passengers helped pull him back inside, and he was hospitalized with friction burns but in good condition overall.
  • The incident occurred due to a broken window caused by debris from an engine, leading to decompression and oxygen masks deploying.
  • The flight returned to Thessaloniki, landed normally, and a replacement aircraft was used to continue the journey to Germany.
