Sounds horrible, but my "classy" friend from Florida joked after the Alaska Air incident that if someone from Florida was sitting next to the hole, they would have been sucked off of their chair only to plug the hole. This is why Floridians should always be seated next to the window...
"and all passengers in those seats were reseated" for a small fee. It is Ryanair after all. You pay extra to fly in a convertible. I'll experience my first Ryanair flight soon. Fortunately, I'm an aisle seat guy who keeps his seatbelt on when seated.
You forgot to mention WN 1380 which is exactly what you described: an engine failure causing debris to hit the window and a passenger getting sucked out. Unfortunately in that case, it was fatal. Glad this passenger is ok.
Passengers fault, really. They didn't elect to pay the "not getting sucked out the window at altitude" fee.
Knowing Ryanair, it probably charged the passenger for the incident, just like an airport checkin, as his experience required the airline to expend extra effort to address.
BREAKING NEWS: As the origin of the flight was Greece, when the window broke, the passengers were heard shouting: “Opaaa!!” (Too soon? Also, ‘breaking’ news, get it?)
I always wished I could stick my head out the airplane window. I bet the view was great
Well the view to the guy called the reaper is sth most people would not call great
Reminds me of the Southwest incident out of LGA where a customer was killed due to shrapnel from an uncontained engine failure.
To say that you are the stupidest commenter is an understatement. I really wish you could experience it soon.
As an avgeek, I would pay extra for this experience. I'm lowkey jealous it wasn't me
I'm not sure which is worse: being sucked out of an airplane window or having the flight attendants endlessly implore me to buy scratchcards.
Horrific. Reminds me of Delta 1288 in 1996 where a mother and son died after debris from engine failure broke through the fuselage.
Sorry, folks. I’ll admit it: That was in-bad-taste… like the Ouzo-rations they handed out to everyone after they landed safely. Black licorice? Blehhh.
National Airlines Flight 27 of 1973 with a DC-10.
Yes, I'm old enough to remember.
Sure I read about in Popular Science or Popular Mechanics.
There are four certainties stemming from this Ryanair 737 incident:
1. O'Leary will try to find a way to capitalize from this.
2. Tim Dunn will find a Delta angle, no matter what.
3. 1990 will say any old crap that pops into her small head.
4. TravelinPenis will talk about vaccines and Trump.
Thank you for not saying what you usually say... (unless you wanna give that another go, for fun!)
