Ryanair plane makes emergency landing in Greece after window 'dislodged'
ATHENS, July 10 (Reuters) - Ryanair (RYA.I), said one of its planes was forced into an emergency landing at Thessaloniki airport in Greece shortly after take-off on Friday after its window was "dislodged", with two industry sources saying a passenger was partially sucked out of a window. The airline said one person received medical assistance, but did not elaborate on the cause. The plane was flying from Thessaloniki to Memmingen airport in Germany. "The aircraft landed normally and passengers returned to the terminal," Ryanair said in a statement. Local media in Greece reported that a piece of engine broke off and smashed a window, causing the cabin to decompress and sucking one passenger partially out of the window. Two sources with knowledge of the incident relayed the same details to Reuters. Unverified videos posted on social media from the inside of the plane showed a broken window and oxygen masks dangling from the ceiling.

I feel like that information that should have gone in the headline, and the fact that this all took place on a Boeing was information that should have gone in the article
I think Reuters was just playing it safe, and didn't want to publish information that wasn't true with 100% certainty
I was on a flight last weekend, sitting at the door, and remembering that time a door fell off a plane about a year ago, I kept my seatbelt on the entire time.
Guess I'll keep doing that no matter what from now on.
In case you're wondering, yes it was a Boeing. 😑
Average Ryanair experience.
“partially sucked out of a window”
“It’s okay, we pulled him back inside.”
