edit: Earlier door failures happened to two McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10 after they changed their locking mechanism

Situation back then was made worse as it sucked part of the floor out with the door.
- light_hue_1 3y agoYeah, if by earlier you mean 35 years ago. In a totally different airplane design. Literally nothing in common with this flight.
- cf1241290841 3y agoIt was a fuselage failure, those dont happen all too often. Back then it was because of a lack of maintenance. It was before i read it was the door though. edit: In case its not obvious, would be great if you could post other examples. These events in the air are rather rare and i am rather curious for the upcoming ntsb report of this one. edit1: Apparently the newer one is a 737 from Southwest from 10 years ago, also maintenance issues. But like similar ones it was rather small https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_812 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_812
