A piece of debris from one of an aircraft’s engines damaged a window during a flight, according to Greek media reports.
Here’s a polished version of your news report:
A passenger was nearly sucked out of the window of a Ryanair flight after it reportedly detached mid-air during a journey from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, according to witnesses and officials.
Fellow passengers managed to pull the man, identified as a Serbian tourist, back into the cabin before the situation worsened.
Authorities said the passenger was taken to hospital with friction burns but was otherwise in stable condition. An investigation has been launched to determine how the window became detached during the flight.
Here’s a polished rewrite in a news style:
“Most of us had fallen asleep when we suddenly heard a loud noise, like a tyre bursting,” a fellow passenger told Radio Thessaloniki.
“We immediately realised there had been a loss of cabin pressure. People started screaming, and for a moment I thought someone had accidentally opened the emergency exit,” she said, describing the frightening moments on board.
Here’s a polished, publication-ready rewrite:
“The oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling, and there was a strong smell inside the cabin. The head and shoulders of one passenger were outside the window, but fortunately he was still wearing his seat belt,” a fellow passenger told Radio Thessaloniki.
She said nearby passengers quickly pulled the man back inside the aircraft, helping to prevent what could have been a far more serious incident.
Greek media reported that the incident occurred while the aircraft was flying over North Macedonia, claiming that the window was damaged after a piece of debris detached from one of the plane’s engines.
In a statement, Ryanair said the flight returned to Thessaloniki shortly after takeoff after a passenger window became detached during the flight.
“The aircraft landed normally and the passengers returned to the terminal,” the airline said.
Ryanair added that a replacement aircraft was arranged to transport the remaining passengers to Memmingen, Germany.
