BA•NTSB finds bird remains in engine from Ryanair incident
Bird remains were found in the engine of a Ryanair RYA.I Boeing BA.N 737 NG plane where a passenger was partially sucked through a broken window shortly after takeoff from Greece in July, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Thursday.
The NTSB is investigating the incident where a piece of the engine broke off the plane and smashed the window. The plane, headed to Germany, lost pressure and was forced to make an emergency landing.
Preliminary report says previous bird strikes were reported
The NTSB said in its preliminary report into the July 10 incident that four suspected bird strikes to the airplane's No. 2 engine were reported by flight crew in the 12 months preceding the accident.
