At 30,000 feet over North Macedonia, the boundary between cabin and sky briefly dissolved when a window detached from a Ryanair Boeing 737-800, nearly claiming a 61-year-old Serbian man through the opening. He was held by his seat belt and pulled back by fellow passengers — strangers whose instincts outpaced the physics threatening to take him. The aircraft returned safely to Thessaloniki, but the incident has opened a wider inquiry into what failed, and why, on a type of aircraft that carries millions each year.
