Wife of Ryanair passenger partially sucked out of plane window recalls incident

Greek media and airport sources said that most likely a piece of engine broke off and smashed a window early in the flight, causing the cabin to decompress.

Ryanair has confirmed that a window dislodged during the flight, and senior executive Eddie Wilson said on Wednesday that photographs clearly showed damage to the engine and that the flight had returned to the airport using a single engine.

He declined to speculate on the cause, or whether engine debris had struck the window, pending the results of ongoing investigations.

Boeing has said it was assisting the investigation led by North Macedonia, over which the incident occurred. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency are involved in the probe.

A Greek prosecutor has launched a probe into the case, while Greek air accident investigators are also looking into it. The aircraft is still in Greece.
