Serbian man reportedly saved by wife hanging on to his legs after window shattered on journey from Greece
Jesus. I came here to joke about him being charged a fee for early disembarkment, but this must have been genuinely traumatising. I hope the poor couple recover in good time, and I hope Ryanair pay a comfortable settlement.
This is why you should buckle your seatbelts on flight.
You mean all of those people who say, “what’s a seatbelt gonna do if the plane crashes” didn’t actually give any thought to why else it might be important?
“In order to minimise any delay, a replacement aircraft was arranged to bring passengers to Memmingen, which departed Thessaloniki at 9.53am local time this morning.”
Lol I would hope so. But how big are the windows on that plane? The ones I’ve seen I’d never get my head through, forget my body
With enough force, you’ll fit through any window
Window is ~12" x 9". Pressure differential between cabin at 8000 feet and exterior of 30000 feet is ~6.5psi. The total force is ~700 lbs.
So yeah, you wouldn’t be feeling very good. Imagine 5 people standing on just your chest.
I’m glad the guy is still around.
He’s probably going to make the best of his life now, after an experience like that
This is RyanAir. That’s an extra fee.
He’s lucky that turbine blade didn’t hit him on its way into the plane. No way you could survive a hit like that.
Of course it was RyanAir…
