    Jesus. I came here to joke about him being charged a fee for early disembarkment, but this must have been genuinely traumatising. I hope the poor couple recover in good time, and I hope Ryanair pay a comfortable settlement.

    He’s lucky that turbine blade didn’t hit him on its way into the plane. No way you could survive a hit like that.

      You mean all of those people who say, “what’s a seatbelt gonna do if the plane crashes” didn’t actually give any thought to why else it might be important?

    “In order to minimise any delay, a replacement aircraft was arranged to bring passengers to Memmingen, which departed Thessaloniki at 9.53am local time this morning.”

    Lol I would hope so. But how big are the windows on that plane? The ones I’ve seen I’d never get my head through, forget my body
