A passenger, Ljubisa Karović, recounts his experience following an incident on a Ryanair flight from Greece to Germany in which a window shattered and he says he was nearly sucked out of the aircraft. Karović describes being asleep in seat 11F on an early-morning departure when he hears a loud noise and wakes to what he remembers as the explosion and window shattering. He says the moment becomes the clearest point he recalls as the situation moves toward chaos. Several days later, the Guardian reports that Karović is telling his story, framing his survival as remarkable, and says the incident continues to affect his sleep. Irish Examiner notes that just over 100 hours have passed since he was discharged from hospital and describes the shock as overwhelming, while also highlighting that he is able to recount the ordeal. Across the accounts, the focus remains on Karović’s personal testimony about the sequence of events he experienced and the lasting impact on him following his hospital discharge.
