in mid-air says she and other passengers desperately tried to hold on to him while half of his body was outside the window. Speaking outside the hospital where her husband is recovering, Svetlana Maksimovic described the harrowing experience.
Maksimovic said she was seated across the aisle from her husband and that everything seemed normal on the flight until she heard a loud band. When Maksimovic looked toward her husband, she said he was already lodged halfway out of the plane.
"I got up and unfastened my seatbelt. The woman sitting next to him was holding onto his arm. I went over to help her, but we just didn't have the strength," Maksimovic recalled.
"We couldn't pull him away from the window. Then a man from across the aisle got up, came over and helped us.
"Together, we managed to pull him back inside. His upper body was severely disfigured, his arm was badly injured and there was blood everywhere.
""I thought: 'If we die, we die together. ' It was horrible," she said. As all of that was happening, she said the flight attendants were at the front of the aircraft wearing oxygen masks and that no one came to help. The flight had departed from Greece and was bound for Germany.
