Aug 13 (Reuters) - Bird remains were found on a Ryanair RYA.I Boeing BA.N 737 NG plane where a passenger was partially sucked through a dislodged window shortly after takeoff from Greece in July, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Thursday. 
The NTSB is investigating the incident where a piece of the engine broke off the plane and smashed the window, according to video and the Federal Aviation Administration. The plane, headed to Germany, lost pressure and was forced to make an emergency landing.
