A Ryanair plane takes off early in Toulouse and forgets about fifty passengers
They were ready, on time at the airport, but the plane left without them. This Saturday, June 19, around fifty passengers on a Ryanair flight were unable to board the aircraft, the latter having taken off in advance, reports the Midday Dispatch . This rather rare incident took place at Toulouse Blagnac airport. (news.in-24.com) Plus d'info...

It's Ryanair, it costs extra if you want the plane to wait to leave until scheduled departure time.
So don’t fly Ryanair. Lesson learned
Something doesn't add up. According to Flightradar24, the flight to Fez (FR3351) took off at 8:40, more than an hour late
Here’s a report (in French) in the respected newspaper Le Figaro, which does mention the delayed departure:

The article includes the sentence
“On peut supposer que la compagnie aurait donc refusé l'accès aux derniers passagers enregistrés afin d'éviter un retard supplémentaire.”
(One can suppose that the airline had refused to board the last passengers, in order to avoid a further delay.)
In any case during the 20 years I lived in Paris, I never flew Ryanair and “pour cause” (for [good] reason).
