This is one reason to always be wearing your seat belt tightly when flying.
I wonder if Ryanair is going to charge them for being oversized to fit through their designated window.
Extremely similar to Southwest flight 1380 which killed a person in the US after they were partially sucked out of a broken window from an engine failure.

The CFM56 cowl redesign to prevent fan blade off uncontained failure is still unfixed. The FAA gave Boeing/CFM an unreasonable amount of time (July 31, 2028) to address the issue. This is similar to the bungled handling of MCAS.
I thought that the speed of the air moving outside of the plane had a bigger impact on the pressure imbalance that causes someone to be "sucked out" of plane. It appears that is a false belief, the inside/outside pressure difference is from the artificial pressurization of the internal cabin. I blame a high school physics teacher for the memorable "why does a soft top convertible poof out when driving fast?" question as a preamble to explaining bernoulli for my false assumption.

From https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgk65knkyzdo Media reports in Greece and Germany quoted passengers describing a loud bang followed by the window breaking and oxygen masks falling from the ceiling shortly after the Boeing 737 had taken off.

They believe the window was smashed by pieces of the jet's engine - although Ryanair has not commented on this.

First place to look when this sort of thing happens is pprune.org - lots of pilots on there, often with specific knowledge of the aircraft type and/or of the incident itself.

In this case: https://www.pprune.org/accidents-close-calls/672872-ryanair-...

That top reply made me laugh out loud:

“>Glad it turned out well.

>Wonder what the Ryanair social media team is going to do with this one

Ryanair introducing new additional charge to have a window.”

Cheap, safe, fast. You can have any 2 out of the 3.

Well, this isn’t very typical, I’d like to make that point.

Look, the windows not supposed to fall off, for a start. These things are built to rigorous aeronautical engineering standards — cardboard’s out, cardboard derivatives, no cellotape, no string. So chance in a million, really.

And to be clear, the plane that the window fell off was flown to safety. So there’s nothing out there but birds, air, wind and clouds… and the window that fell off.

The window didn't "fall off". In article's 1st paragraph:

"debris from a dramatic engine failure caused damage to the aircraft's window"

That's high-velocity pieces of metal. Hard to prevent that from shattering a window if engine housing didn't catch it.

How much stronger, thicker & heavier you want to make those windows? Costing how much more fuel? To save how many lives per year?

I'd think airplane builders (note: not airlines!) are more qualified to make that calculation than armchair safety 'experts'.

I just want to make the point that this is not normal
Yes, but still the person was for 2 minutes with their chest out of the window, held by their legs
Would it be strange to not have any windows on a plane? You could put thin oled panels on the wall instead. Seems like that would be more structurally sound.
I like to be able to look out the window, especially when we hit rough air. Seeing the fixed external reference helps me, for whatever reason.
Lesson learned for Ryanair leadership: charge more for seats not in range of debris from uncontained turbine failures.

Seriously though, as an aviation geek, I always avoid those seats when given a choice.

Serious question: Which seats are the ones that are in range? Just in front of the wing, or just behind it?

Aren’t seats near the window the most structurally sound due to the wing supports? They are also near the exits for a quick exit.
> A report in a Hungarian publication claims, "A passenger was sucked into the window by the change in air pressure, with the 61-year-old man's head sticking out of the plane. Witnesses say his wife grabbed him, which was the reason he wasn't pulled out of the plane by the lower air pressure outside." [translation by Google]

Points for the wife!

In the olden days, if someone saved your life, you owed them a year of free service.

So this guy should be ready for a year of TOTAL housework dedication.

He was pushed, not sucked. Pressure never sucks.
edit: Never mind me. I think I was wrong about this.

Colloquially speaking, it sucks. It’s like saying vacuum cleaners technically blow. It might be true but everybody knows it as sucking.

Counterpoint: peer pressure.

Checkmate, science!

Alternate title: Boeing 737 passenger sucked toward broken window after midair engine failure.
