Multiple reports describe a life-threatening incident on a Ryanair flight in which a passenger is said to have been pulled out through a plane window at about 20,000 feet. The case involves passenger Ljubisa Karovic, who is reported to have been seated in a window seat on flight FR1879, traveling from Thessaloniki to Germany. The articles say he was wrenched through the porthole and sustained serious injuries.
One outlet includes medical commentary from Dr David Carey, describing the kinds of trauma that can occur when a person is exposed to rapid decompression and significant force at high altitude. The reporting emphasizes that the biggest immediate threat to life in such scenarios is typically lack of oxygen and related physiological collapse, along with the severity of physical injuries.
Across the accounts, the core elements are consistent: the incident occurs on a Ryanair flight at cruising altitude, the passenger is allegedly pulled through a window area, and the resulting injuries are described as potentially catastrophic, with oxygen deprivation identified as a major factor determining survival.
