A Boeing airliner owned by Ryanair Ireland, Europe's largest low-cost airline, had an accident on the 10th when flying from Greece to Germany. A porthole broke and fell off a few minutes after the plane took off. As a result, one passenger's upper body was sucked out of the window and later pulled back with full force by surrounding passengers. The plane then returned to the Greek airport. The cause of the accident is still unclear. US Boeing and others said they would assist in the investigation. The passenger plane that occurred was originally scheduled to travel from Thessaloniki, Greece to Memmingen, Germany. It was operated by Air Malta, a subsidiary of Ryanair. The aircraft was a Boeing 737-800, which was delivered to Ryanair in 2008. Ryanair issued a statement saying that one of the passenger plane's portholes fell off during the flight and immediately returned to Thessaloniki.
