What happened
Ryanair Flight FR1879 from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, returned to Thessaloniki shortly after takeoff on Friday after a cabin window dislodged in midair. Fellow passengers pulled a 61-year-old Serbian tourist back into the cabin after he was partially sucked through the opening, according to officials and witnesses. A Greek hospital official said he was treated for neck and shoulder injuries, friction burns and shock. Ryanair said one passenger received medical assistance but did not detail the cause.
