Ryanair Passenger Who Almost Got Sucked Out Of Airplane Window Speaks Out About The Harrowing Experience
The 61-year-old suffered burns and bruises after the Boeing 737 window dislodged, and doctors said recovery will be slow.
- On Friday, a Ryanair Boeing 737 made an emergency landing in Greece after a window dislodged soon after take-off, with a 61-year-old Serbian entrepreneur ending up with his head and right arm outside the aircraft at 15,000ft moving more than 600km/h.
- The Serbian entrepreneur recalls 'the explosion' as his primary memory, with the unbearable moments of being half in and out of the plane lasting between one-and-a-half and two minutes, leaving him haunted eleven days later.
- Visible burns and bruises covering his right arm, armpit and chest testify to the ordeal; his Greek lawyer, Vasilis Tsiaras, describes the father of two as 'being alive by mistake.'
- Doctors ordered a neck brace for at least six weeks pending surgery determination, though Ryanair claimed cabin crew did a 'phenomenal job'—contradicting accounts showing passengers, including one Albanian man, provided critical assistance.
- The survivor advocates 'Always make sure to wear your seatbelt' and states 'I dont want anyone to suffer what happened to me,' crediting faith as he recovers from circumstances still under investigation.
