美国国家运输安全委员会周四在初步调查报告中称，上月欧洲瑞安航空航班上一名乘客险些被破碎舷窗吸出舱外的事件，可能由鸟撞事故引发。
据美国国家运输安全委员会介绍，7月10日上午，瑞安航空1879号航班一架波音737飞机从希腊塞萨洛尼基起飞后数分钟，2号发动机发生故障，当时该机正飞往德国门明根。
报告显示，该发动机的一片风扇叶片脱落，碎片从发动机喷出，在机身多处造成切割损伤，不仅损坏了飞机，还击碎了第11排的一处乘客舷窗。
美国国家运输安全委员会称，坐在该座位上的乘客被部分吸出舱外，身受重伤。

美国国家运输安全委员会的调查人员在故障发动机内部发现了包括羽毛在内的鸟类残骸证据。报告称，飞行员收到了发动机故障警报，随后听到一声巨响。
“发动机碎片击穿机身，客舱失压，”美国国家运输安全委员会的报告中写道。
美国国家运输安全委员会表示，破碎的舷窗碎片散落在飞机的多个排座位区域。调查人员还在脱落的风扇叶片根部发现了金属疲劳迹象，尽管此前曾对风扇叶片进行过近期检查。从发动机中找回了三片松动的风扇叶片碎片。

美国国家运输安全委员会称，数据记录仪显示，在起飞阶段末期，2号发动机的振动高于1号发动机。
美国国家运输安全委员会的调查人员还发现，这架飞机未完成美国航空公司需在2028年前完成的发动机升级。由于瑞安航空是爱尔兰航空公司，不受美国联邦航空管理局的规章约束。
美国国家运输安全委员会表示，机上共有149名乘客和6名机组人员，飞机立即返回塞萨洛尼基国际机场，机上其他人员均未受伤。
据美国国家运输安全委员会介绍，在7月10日的事故发生前的12个月里，这架飞机曾报告过4起鸟撞事故，其中两起案件中曾发现鸟类残骸。

美国国家运输安全委员会的调查人员表示，此次发现的最新鸟类残骸位于发动机深处，目前尚不确定这些残骸是来自7月10日的事故，还是此前的某次事件。
这些残骸和其他样本已被送往华盛顿特区的史密森学会鸟类识别实验室进行检测。
受伤乘客是一名61岁的塞尔维亚男子，他后来向《卫报》讲述了自己的经历。
“我记不太清了，我的头和脖子还疼，但我还活着，”他对这家英国媒体说，“多亏了安全带，我当时还被系在座位上。”
据报告称，一名空乘人员向美国国家运输安全委员会的调查人员表示，客舱失压、氧气面罩掉落之后，他们注意到11F座位的乘客“部分卡在受损的客舱舷窗中，整个舷窗都不见了”。
美国国家运输安全委员会
其他乘客将该男子拉回客舱，并将他转移到第12排，由一名同为医生的同行乘客对其进行救治，美国国家运输安全委员会称。
据美国国家运输安全委员会介绍，另一名乘客前往飞机前部厨房，取回一个“金属盒子”，试图堵住破损的客舱舷窗。
希腊当局指定美国国家运输安全委员会作为此次事故的牵头调查机构。按照规程，美国国家运输安全委员会的最终报告可能会在未来12至24个月内发布。
在向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻提供的针对该报告的声明中，波音公司的一位发言人表示，公司“将继续支持由美国国家运输安全委员会主导的调查”。
“按照美国国家运输安全委员会的要求以及国际民用航空组织附件13的规程，波音将尊重美国国家运输安全委员会的调查结果，”声明中写道，“我们仍在与客户瑞安航空和马耳他航空保持联系并开展合作。”
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻也已联系瑞安航空，请其就该报告置评。
Evidence of bird strike found after Ryanair passenger nearly sucked out of plane’s broken window, NTSB says

A bird strike may have been the cause of an incident in which a passenger was nearly sucked out of a broken window aboard a Ryanair flight in Europe last month, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said in its preliminary report Thursday.
According to the NTSB, on the morning of July 10, the No. 2 engine of Ryanair Flight 1879, a Boeing 737, experienced a failure just minutes after takeoff from Thessaloniki, Greece, as it was bound for Memmingen, Germany.
One of the engine’s fan blades broke off, according to the report, sending debris out of the engine, which sliced into the fuselage of the plane at several points, the NTSB determined, damaging the aircraft as well as busting out a passenger window in row 11.
The passenger sitting in that seat was partially sucked out of the plane, suffering serious injuries, the NTSB said.

NTSB investigators discovered evidence of bird remains, including feathers, inside the engine that failed. Pilots received a warning about the engine and then heard a loud bang, the report said.
“Engine fragments breached the fuselage and the cabin depressurized,” the NTSB report stated.
Pieces of the shattered window were found across several rows of the plane, the NTSB said. Investigators also found signs of metal fatigue at the base of the fan blade that broke off, despite recent inspections of the fan blades. Three loose fan blade fragments were recovered from the engine.

Data recorders revealed that the vibrations on the No. 2 engine were higher than those of the No. 1 engine during the end of takeoff, the NTSB said.
NTSB investigators also found that engine updates that have been required for U.S. airlines to complete by 2028 have not been made on this aircraft. As Ryanair is an Irish airline, it is not subject to Federal Aviation Administration regulations.
There were 149 passengers and six crew members aboard the plane, which immediately returned to the Thessaloniki International Airport, the NTSB said. No one else aboard was hurt.
The plane had been involved in four reported bird strikes in the previous 12 months leading up to the July 10 incident, according to the NTSB, and bird remains were previously found in two of those cases.

NTSB investigators said the latest bird remains they found were deep inside the engine, and they’re unsure if they were from the July 10 incident or from something previous.
Those remains and other samples were sent to the Smithsonian Institution Feather Identification Lab in Washington, D.C., for examination.
The injured passenger, a 61-year-old Serbian man, later recounted his experience to The Guardian.
“I don’t remember much and my head and neck still hurt but I am still alive,” he told the British outlet. “It could have been the seatbelt, the fact that I was still strapped in.”
According to the report, a flight attendant told NTSB investigators that after the cabin depressurized and oxygen masks dropped, they noticed the passenger in 11F “partially lodged in a damaged cabin window, and that the entire window was missing.”

Other passengers were able to pull the man back into the cabin, and he was moved to row 12, where he received treatment from a fellow passenger who was a doctor, the NTSB said.
Another passenger went into the forward galley of the plane and retrieved a “metal box” to try and block the broken cabin window, according to the NTSB.
Greek authorities delegated the NTSB as the lead investigating agency in the incident. The NTSB’s final report will likely come within the next 12 to 24 months, per protocol.
In a statement provided to CBS News in response to the report, a Boeing spokesperson said the company “continues to support the investigation led by” the NTSB.
“Consistent with NTSB requirements and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Annex 13 protocols, Boeing defers to the NTSB,” the statement read. “We remain in contact and continue to work with our customers Ryanair and Malta Air.”
CBS News has also reached out to Ryanair for comment on the report.
