Ljubisa Karovic suffered neck and shoulder injuries after the window broke during the flight
Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary said that the airline will be “disputing” that any part of a passenger’s body was sucked out of a window midflight.
Ljubisa Karovic, 61, suffered neck and shoulder injuries after the window broke during the flight from the Greek city of Thessaloniki to Memmingen near Munich, Germany, on 10 July.
He wasn’t partially out the window.
No, no, no. Part of his face didn’t get out the window.
We will be certainly at the end of the process disputing that he or any part of his anatomy will bend out the window.
We’re not trying to downplay it.
Look, that incident is being investigated by the NTSB, and we have to await the outcome of the NTSB report.
There’s nothing we can do at the moment. We are a participant in the investigation with Boeing, with the NTSB, with GE on the engine side.
Most of the focus is what happened to the engine. Why was it not self-contained within the cowl of the engine?
He did all he could to bring him in and then tried to block the window, first with a bag that was immediately sucked out and then with a suitcase, which worked.
