Plane Window Pops Out Midflight | Rochester News

A Malta Air flight from Greece to Germany suffered a harrowing mid-air emergency when a cabin window dislodged minutes after takeoff, pulling one passenger halfway out before others pulled him back in. The plane returned to Thessaloniki, with the injured passenger suffering neck, shoulder, and friction burns. Passengers reported a loud bang, sudden decompression, and chaos as oxygen masks deployed. The airline hasn’t disclosed the cause, but the U.S. NTSB was notified of an engine issue and cabin decompression. North Macedonia will lead the investigation. Experts stress the critical importance of keeping seatbelts fastened during decompression — it could be the difference between safety and being sucked out. Thankfully, the plane landed safely, and passengers were rebooked on a new flight. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
