Bird strike likely caused engine failure that nearly sucked passenger from Ryanair flight

A 61-year-old Serbian passenger suffered serious injuries after being partially sucked out of the cabin window during rapid depressurization; he survived due to his seatbelt and assistance from other passengers.

On a July morning over Greece, a bird and a Boeing 737 met in the seconds after takeoff, and what followed reminded the world that the distance between routine and catastrophe can be measured in the width of a single fan blade. A 61-year-old man from Serbia was partially drawn through a shattered cabin window at 30,000 feet, held to life by a seatbelt and the instincts of strangers. The incident, now under NTSB investigation, quietly surfaces older questions about maintenance standards, regulatory gaps between nations, and how much warning goes unheeded before something breaks.
