Passenger Nearly Ejected After Ryanair 737 Window Fails Mid-Flight

A passenger aboard a Ryanair 737 was nearly ejected from the aircraft when the cabin window failed mid-flight. Multiple sources stated the window may have been struck by a piece of the aircraft’s engine, which caused the structure to fail, but the airline has not verified this.

The aircraft, operated by Malta Air for Ryanair, took off from the Greek city of Thessaloniki just before 6 a.m. local time on Friday. The flight was heading to Memmingen, Germany.
