The seat is still there, firmly attached to the plane. In all likelihood a passenger in that seat, if they were wearing their seat belt (as they should have, it wasn't at cruising altitude, and you should wear your seat belt anyway when seated), would have been severely frightened and annoyed, but probably uninjured. Maybe some hearing loss.
- bitcurious 3y agoThe seat is at the very least missing some fabric and cushioning. Winds that can do that to an airplane seat probably wouldn’t leave a human uninjured.
- rootusrootus 3y agoAgreed, I wouldn't be surprised to see some light injuries, but on the other hand that seat cover is velcro'd on at the top and comes right off for cleaning. Not much really holding it there.

I could certainly imagine a lap-belt not being adequate to keep a small child from getting sucked out of the seat.
