Man was partially sucked out of plane after broken engine blade shattered window, investigators find

Investigators also found bird remains inside the engine, suggesting the plane may have struck birds during takeoff.

A shattered window through which a passenger was partially sucked out of during a Ryanair flight last month was caused by broken engine parts, US investigators have said.

Other passengers fought to bring the injured man back inside the plane on July 10.

The National Transportation Safety Board said it had found a bird’s remains and feathers on a broken engine.

The incident caused a man’s head to be sucked into the hole in the fuselage before his fellow passengers pulled him to safety.
