A Ryanair flight departing Thessaloniki, Greece, and headed for Memmingen, Germany, suffers a mid-flight incident after a cabin window detaches while the aircraft is over North Macedonia. Multiple passengers react quickly as the window failure contributes to cabin decompression, and the man is nearly pulled from the aircraft. Fellow travellers intervene and pull the passenger back inside. Oxygen masks deploy and passengers report a strong smell spreading through the cabin. The aircraft continues on and returns to Thessaloniki. The passenger, a Serbian tourist, is taken to hospital with friction burns, according to one report. Another outlet states that the plane is returned to Thessaloniki and that authorities are investigating what caused the window to detach, including the possibility that engine debris played a role. The investigation is ongoing, with officials focused on the sequence of events and the technical cause of the window failure.
