A 61-year-old passenger, Ljubiša Karović from Serbia, is reported to have been partially pulled out through a broken cabin window during a mid-air emergency on a Ryanair flight. Multiple outlets say the incident occurred on a flight travelling from Thessaloniki to Memmingen. The reports state that an engine failure led to debris striking the aircraft and shattering the window, creating a situation in which Karović was partially sucked through the opening. Accounts describe him needing to be restrained to prevent him from being pulled further out of the cabin. One outlet adds that a passenger or his wife clings to him during the emergency, while other coverage focuses on the circumstances of the window damage and the engine-related debris. The coverage is largely consistent on the passenger’s identity and age, the flight route, and the chain of events involving an engine failure, debris impact, and the broken window. The reports note that images of Karović were published following the incident.
