In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, passenger Ljubiša Karojić has recalled the horrifying moment he was partially sucked out of a plane window after an engine exploded mid-flight. He suffered severe injuries but survived, however he says the airline hasn’t reached out to him. Ljubisa said: ‘All we’ve had is emails to my son, who booked our flights, asking if we want to rebook and asking how I was. But nobody from the company has contacted me directly, not even a phone call to show any concern.’ His wife Svetlana said: ‘When we were battling to hold onto Ljubisa, the crew didn’t do anything, they looked more scared than us. It was only the passengers who helped and were brave. #ryanair
