According to an American investigation, detached engine parts destroyed a window of a Ryanair aircraft last month. This caused a man to be partially sucked out during a flight from Greece.

The incident occurred in early July when the window of the aircraft shattered due to the engine parts. Flight attendants have reported what they witnessed during the remarkable accident.

The passenger suffered minor injuries in the incident. Details about how the engine parts came loose remain unclear. It is speculated that a bird strike may have contributed to the incident.

This event has prompted an investigation by American authorities. The specific circumstances of the incident are the subject of further inspection.
