- Ljubisa Karović was partially sucked head-first through a broken window on a Ryanair flight from Greece to Germany after a loud bang caused sudden decompression and shattered the glass.
- His wife, Svetlana Grković, desperately grabbed his legs, and with the help of other passengers, pulled him back inside as he repeatedly lost consciousness while stuck outside for two minutes.
- The incident occurred approximately half an hour after take-off, with passengers reporting a sound like a tyre bursting before the window ruptured, leading to a rapid descent.
- The pilot returned to Thessaloniki airport, where Mr Karović was immediately hospitalised with severe injuries, including burns and a badly injured hand, leaving him unable to speak or recall the event.
- Ryanair confirmed the flight returned to Thessaloniki after a passenger window dislodged inflight, stating one passenger received medical assistance and a replacement aircraft was arranged for the remaining passengers.
