The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has found evidence suggesting a bird strike may have caused an incident last month in which a passenger was nearly sucked out of a broken window on a Ryanair flight in Europe. Investigators discovered bird remains inside the aircraft's engine, indicating the plane likely struck birds during takeoff.

The impact led to a broken engine part that subsequently shattered the cabin window near where the passenger was seated, resulting in the dangerous incident where part of the individual's head and body were pulled toward the opening.
