During takeoff, part of the engine came off at 16000' and broke the window.

Passenger's head and shoulders pulled out the window. He has "friction burns" and is hospitalized. Other than that, everyone is OK.

This is why I never take off the seat belt unless I have to get up to find the WC.

Sounds like he would have been completely sucked out of the plane if he didn't.

United Airlines must face lawsuit over window seats with no windows

You paid extra for a window seat on United Airlines. You chose it deliberately, maybe because your kid needs something to look at for three hours, or because you sleep better with something to lean against, or because you just wanted to watch the clouds. Then you boarded, found your row, and slid in next to a wall.

(Something to rethink?)
