Ryanair plane makes emergency landing in Greece after window 'dislodged'

A Ryanair plane made an emergency landing in Greece after a window was dislodged, reportedly due to a broken engine part, partially sucking a passenger out of the window.

Ryanair 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.
