Engine part shattered Ryanair window and saw man sucked from plane

A Ryanair Boeing 737-800 leaving Thessaloniki, Greece on July 10 suffered a serious in-flight damage event when an engine fan blade broke off and sent debris that shattered a cabin window shortly after takeoff, US investigators said. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported that parts damaged the fuselage in multiple locations and that bird remains were found inside the engine, suggesting the aircraft may have struck birds. Cabin depressurization dropped oxygen masks and forced an emergency response. A 61-year-old passenger had his head pulled into the fuselage opening and was pulled back to safety; he received neck and shoulder injuries and friction burns. The NTSB said it found a right engine issue during the flight and criticized Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary for comments to investors.
