A woman has described the terrifying moment she grabbed hold of her husband's legs to stop him being fully sucked out of a Ryanair aircraft after a window blew out at around 20,000ft. She recounted telling him "if we die, we die together" as she fought to keep him inside the cabin during the mid-air emergency, which caused explosive decompression and panic among passengers before the pilots were able to descend and divert the flight safely.

The frightening incident was one of two alarming Ryanair episodes reported on the same day, with a separate flight also hit by a severe turbulence ordeal. Details of the exact route, date and passenger numbers involved were not fully specified in the report, but the wife's account highlights the sudden violence of the depressurisation and the desperate physical struggle to keep her husband from being ejected through the window before the aircraft could reach a safe altitude and land.
