I think that the original and important area of failure was probably the
door latches undoing , whatever the reason !.
The hinges only failed when grossly overloaded by the door being taken by
the 100Kns or so airflow.
At least this way you do not have a repair to the fuselage attachments to
contend with, now if only you could find the door !! :<)

Hi! Sven.
That all sounds somewhat of an important item of failure! Was there any
likelihood of the hinges being maligned at all and in a position of
stress when the door was finally closed down?
Have you any feed back as to the situation with the other door hinges?

Jeff,
The hinges sheared right in the middle.
Cheers
