Brazilian Jet lands safely minus one door

Apparently, this was not the first time the Brazilians have had trouble with this make of jet.

It was not the only time last week it had trouble with something of an aerodynamic nature. Last week was a rough one in the news for Brazil.

In addition to this incident, a guy in Brazil accidentally blew himself up by hitting an unexploded RPG with a sledgehammer.

Not surprisingly, this caused the rocket propelled grenade (RPG) to blow up. He is now dead.

But in this latest accident, nobody was hurt.

The incident involved a door falling off a plane, a Fokker 100 that was manufactured by a Dutch company that went out of business a decade ago. After reading this article, it is not hard to figure out why.

Jet lands safely after door falls off - Yahoo! News:

A jet owned by leading
Brazilian airline TAM landed safely on Tuesday after one of its
doors fell off and crashed to earth next to a supermarket
shortly after departure from Sao Paulo.

It sounds like TAM needs to get rid of those Fokkers before somebody gets hurt.
