The Ryanair passenger whose head and shoulders were sucked out of a shattered aircraft window says the terrifying ordeal still haunts him and that he now suffers panic attacks whenever he hears an airplane. Ljubiša Karović, 61, said he had been asleep on the flight from Thessaloniki, Greece, to Memmingen, Germany, when he was jolted awake by “a massive bang like a bomb.” “I had blood all over me,” he recalled, adding that he relives the experience every time he closes his eyes and is no longer willing to fly.

His wife, Svetlana Grković, held onto his legs until other passengers helped pull him back inside before the Ryanair flight returned safely to Thessaloniki.
