Key Points:

A Ryanair Boeing 737 experienced a midair emergency shortly after takeoff from Greece when a window dislodged at about 13,000 feet, causing cabin decompression and oxygen masks to deploy.
A Serbian passenger in his 60s was partially sucked out of the plane, hanging headfirst out of the window for several minutes before other passengers pulled him back inside.
The pilot descended to 6,000 feet and safely returned the aircraft to Thessaloniki, where the passenger received medical care on the ground.
Ryanair arranged a replacement aircraft to continue the flight to Memmingen, and Boeing confirmed awareness of the incident and communication with Ryanair.
