Horror in the Air: Passenger's Head Sucked Out of Window After Engine Fragment Breaks It
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Fragments from an engine broke a window on a Ryanair flight shortly after takeoff in Greece last month, causing a man's head to be sucked out of the opening before other passengers pulled him back into the plane, U.S. investigators reported on Thursday. A fan blade from the right engine of the Boeing 737-800 detached, sending fragments that broke the window and damaged the fuselage in several areas, according to a preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Greece transferred the investigation to the U.S. agency in accordance with international aviation regulations. The incident, which occurred on July 10, took place after the flight took off from the city of Thessaloniki in northern Greece. Investigators found bird remains inside the engine, suggesting that the plane may have struck birds during takeoff, although they have not yet determined the cause of the fan blade's detachment.
