Ryanair window failure nearly sucked passenger out at 16,000 feet

A Ryanair flight from Thessaloniki returned to the airport after a passenger window dislodged shortly after takeoff, nearly pulling a 61-year-old passenger outward at about 16,000 feet. The man was treated for neck injuries and friction burns, and a replacement aircraft was arranged to continue the journey to Memmingen. Aviation experts say rapid depressurization incidents are extremely rare and point to a possible engine-piece failure as a cause, while emphasizing the importance of following crew instructions.
