Ryanair CEO Disputes Report That Injured Passenger Was Sucked Out Window

GREECE – The CEO of Ryanair on Thursday disputed that a passenger injured during a flight on one of it’s planes in July was partly sucked out a broken window.

The passenger injured his neck and shoulder and had friction burns after the window shattered shortly after takeoff on a flight from Northern Greece to Germany on July 10.

His wife and witnesses said the pressure drop caused his head and shoulders to be pulled out the window, as she held onto his legs and other passengers helped pull him back in the jet.

Airline Chief Michael O’Leary acknowledged that the passenger was injured and was entitled to compensation but not “millions and millions.”

Flight attendants told investigators they heard and felt a loud, continuous vibration and saw smoke or fog fill the cabin before oxygen masks dropped from the ceiling.

The plane returned safely to Greece.
