Interestingly my colombian friend whose door opened in flight reported the
very same thing. His pax grabbed and partially closed the door.
He was worried that the cover would exit the door and wrap round the
tail...In the attempt to catch the cover his passenger let go of the door
handle and away went the door.
They did catch the cover tho.
