A man was nearly sucked out of a Ryanair plane window mid-air, causing panic among passengers

A man was nearly sucked out of a Ryanair plane window mid-air during his flight from Thessaloniki to Memmingen on an unspecified Friday morning, causing panic among passengers. According to reports, the incident occurred when the plane suddenly descended 9,000 feet (2,700 meters) in about ten minutes. Passengers heard a kind of explosion and one passenger's wife held onto his legs for around five minutes to prevent him from being sucked out. The man is reported to be a 61-year-old Serbian national who was treated at a Greek hospital for friction burns. Ryanair said its flight returned shortly after take-off when a dislodged passenger window caused the emergency landing in Thessaloniki, where one passenger received medical assistance.
