## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-23) WHILE ENROUTE FROM TWF TO BFI AT APPROXIMATELY 20,000 FEET THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A RAPID DECOMPRESSION WHEN THE LEFT FORWARD CABIN WINDOW SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE PARAMEDIC SEATED NEXT TO THE WINDOW SUFFERED NUMEROUS LACERATIONS WHEN HIS HEAD AND RIGHT SHOULDER PASSED THROUGH THE SHATTERED WINDOW. HIS HEADSET, SUNGLASSES AND IDENTIFICATION BADGES WERE LOST OUT THE WINDOW DURING THE DECOMPRESSION. THE PARAMEDIC SUFFERED MODERATE BLOOD LOSS FROM THE LACERATIONS WHICH ULTIMATELY REQUIRED THIRTEEN STAPLES TO CLOSE.
