"He doesn't speak and doesn't remember, he's in shock," says the wife of the Serbian man who was "sucked" into the air on a Ryanair plane: An Albanian helped us a lot!

Svetlana Grkovi? didn't let go for a moment. As her husband, Ljubisa Karovi?, fell headlong towards the outside of the plane, she grabbed his legs and wouldn't let him go, not even for a moment.

"If we die, we will die together," he confessed to thinking in those seconds, in an interview with Serbian media outlet Nova.

The couple were travelling on a Ryanair flight, operated by Malta Air, which had departed from Thessaloniki, Greece, on Friday morning, bound for Memmingen, Germany. The plane had been in the air for about seven minutes when a blade on the right engine triggered a series of events that caused debris to break the window next to Karovi?'s seat, causing immediate decompression of the cabin.

“Half of his body was outside the plane,” Grkovi? said, explaining that her husband was “outside up to his chest” for a full two minutes. With the help of two other passengers, she managed to pull him back inside. During that time, she said, he lost consciousness three times.

Karovi? was wearing a seatbelt, a detail that, according to other passengers, helped keep those nearby safe, while his head and shoulders remained exposed to the strong air current outside the plane.

The 61-year-old, who remains hospitalized in Greece, remains “seriously injured and in a state of shock,” his wife said. “For me, it’s important that he’s alive,” she added. “One of his hands is badly damaged and he has burns. He can’t communicate and doesn’t remember the whole incident.”

Grkovi? also wanted to thank those who helped her in those moments: “Some people came to my aid. I remember a man and a woman,” she said. “That man helped me and Ljubisa a lot. I think he was Albanian. Thank you very much. I don’t remember his name, I don’t even know if he ever told me. I would like to meet him again to thank him in person once again.”

Other passengers also described the chaos of those moments. Christina, another passenger, told Radio Thessaloniki: “We immediately realized that there had been a decompression. There were screams... For a moment I thought someone had opened the emergency exit by mistake.”

Another passenger, Sofia, said: “We thought the plane was going down. The decompression was extreme. It felt like we couldn’t breathe. The injured man was bleeding and then he lost consciousness several times, probably due to lack of oxygen and shock.”
Images and videos posted on social media show the interior of the cabin, where oxygen masks had fallen from the ceiling after the decompression. The plane involved in the incident, an 18-year-old Boeing 737-800, was in North Macedonian airspace at the time of the incident.

The case is being investigated by the Greek Air and Railway Safety Investigation Authority (Harsia), with the support of Boeing, the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), as well as the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which has announced that it will cooperate in the investigation, as it concerns an aircraft manufactured in the United States./Corriere
