Jay Ratliff, aviation analyst, on a passenger partially sucked out of a Ryanair flight after an engine failure

from WPTF Morning News

Aviation analyst Jay Ratliff joins Lisa Price to discuss a terrifying incident aboard a Ryanair flight from Greece to Germany, where an engine malfunction sent debris through the fuselage, blew out a cabin window and caused rapid depressurization that partially sucked a passenger out of the plane at 16,000 feet. Ratliff explains how the man survived because he was wearing his seatbelt, how fellow passengers and his wife held onto him until the crew could descend and equalize the cabin pressure, and what investigators will be looking at in the months ahead.
