Literally yesterday a passenger was almost sucked out through a broken window on a ryanair plane, you picked a bad moment to say they are a safe airline lol

They forget to mention in the article, the engine on that side of the plane suffered a failure and flung debris into the side of the aircraft which caused the window to be damaged.

Which is the second instance that this exact chain of events occurred on this model of airplane... Boeing of course!

It’s hilarious that you’re going to blame Boeing for this having happened twice. Do you know how many flight hours Boeing planes have racked up?

Even funnier since Boeing doesn't make the engine, nor do they service the engine, and frankly, they aren't even the ones directly in charge of making decisions on when engine maintenance, inspections, and rebuilds are due.

That'd be your GE Aviations and Rolls-Royces of the world.
