        • A woman who held the legs of her husband as he was nearly sucked head-first out of a Ryanair cabin window on Friday said "half of his body was sticking out of the plane".

          Svetlana Grković, who was travelling with her husband Ljubisa Karović from Greece's Thessaloniki to Germany's Memmingen, told Greek public broadcaster ERT he was "outside up to his chest" for two minutes.

          "I immediately reacted and grabbed his legs. I thought: 'If we die, we die together,'" Grković told Serbian outlet Nova.

          With the help of two other passengers, Grković said she was able to pull her husband - who she said lost consciousness three times - back inside.


          Svetlana Grković told Serbian media that her husband is "seriously injured and in shock".


          I flew Ryanair once, but not this Malta sub-airline of them .

            • Elderly US woman shocked to receive racy new car licence plate


              An elderly woman in Florida has become the talk of her retirement community after vehicle licensing officials assigned her with a racy number plate.

              Pompano Beach resident Nancy Dello Stritto says she "went ballistic" when she discovered her new license plate number was "SQZ A55".

              "I don't think a senior who is almost 77 will be driving around with a plate that has that to say," Dello Stritto told CBS News in Miami, adding: "How could that pass inspection?"

              She said some neighbours have encouraged her to exchange the plate, while others - including family members and her sons - have told her to keep it.

              Dello Stritto said she was expecting a replacement plate and, at first, did not notice anything amiss when she got it in the mail.

              Despite her displeasure, she has decided to keep the plate "just to see what happens".

              "I'm resigned to it; maybe it was destined for it to be on my car," Dello Stritto said.

              "I can handle it if I get a few honks here and there. Actually, being over 70, I might like a few honks."

              According to CBS, Florida license plates have been manufactured at a state prison in North Florida for nearly 100 years, before being distributed through state agencies.

              Broward County officials have said plates that are deemed offensive can be exchanged for free.

              Nancy Dello Stritto, 76, says the plate has caused quite a stir in her retirement community.
