    "The recent incident of this nature occurred on May 29, 2026, when a LATAM Airlines Boeing 787-8 (registration CC-BBD) had its L2 passenger door torn off by an air-stairs vehicle on Easter Island "

    There. Fixed it for you.

    I thought other reporting claimed that a ground handling truck crashed into the door, thereby detaching it?

    "Still, any event in which a door separates from a commercial aircraft tends to attract attention from regulators, manufacturers, and airline safety teams."

    As well as stockholders I'd imagine.

    Put some caution tape over the door and have the pilots fly it out empty at 6,000 feet so it doesn't have to be pressurized.

      Haphazardly chuck a road cone in the isle near the door.

          One wonders do Apple devs even use an iPhone?

            Between auto-correct and Apple search, I wonder too.

            I’d like to know how Apple staff find emails on their inboxes.

            The search is such shiite.

          • dylan6044 hours ago
            I'd venture auto-incorrect had a go here

              Tapo.

              Meaning: a tapographical error, compare typo.

    Clearly doors and boeing aircraft don't get along.

      Is that the word we are using for Boeing Quality Assurance now?

      Can’t recommend the book Airframe by Michael Crichton to help contextualize the typical kneejerk reactions to these kinds of things versus the usual culprits enough.

      Edit: thanks for pointing out the typo. Good book still.

    As few have already pointed out, an AI hallucination...

    Quick, to the top of HN!

    Toyota engineers equally puzzled their doors fly off when you reverse through a toll booth with them open.
