Passenger nearly pulled out a Ryanair window in mid-air

A cabin window came off a Ryanair jet in mid-air over North Macedonia on Thursday, and a passenger was partly pulled through the hole before others hauled him back by his seat belt, Boing Boing reports. The flight, running from Thessaloniki to Memmingen, turned back after debris struck and detached the window, decompressing the plane and dropping the oxygen masks. Greek media cited by the outlet said the debris came off an engine. Ryanair is the budget Irish carrier, one of Europe's largest airlines.
