ERJ 175 Looses Door over Lake Erie

[Champcar]

Edit-Per SkyWest's twitter account no door fell off, just a sick passenger....
SkyWest Flight 5622 landed safely in Buffalo, NY after a passenger lost consciousness, no problem w door. Other 75 pax being accommodated.

Reports of pax becoming unconscious, check this descent out. Will be interesting to see what happened, I'm guessing ERJ's don't have plug type doors and rely on the locking mechanism? http://flightclub.jalopnik.com/a-door-just-blew-off-a-regional-jet-at-38-000-feet-1699499404

Tall Doug is another JC user. And he's much taller than @Derg

In fact, he's taller than most homo sapiens sapiens .

Can't be a good thing for the E175 fleet.

They didn't lose a door per a SkyWest update on twitter.

Sooooo... what happened? Was it an airplane problem or a pax problem? Or did one cause the other?

Wow. Not even close to initial press report. Passenger losing consciousness verses airplane losing a door.

Well this is the modern day news media.

Knowing how bad they screw up reporting on our profession makes me wonder how much the screw up on other topics I don't know about. I seriously can't trust any of them anymore.

Tighten up those loose doors.

37000 ft to 10000 in 4 minutes... SKW trying to save face over a mechanical issue?

Tighten up those loose doors.

Bah, just tie a flashlight or something in a plastic bag and have the bag seal the leak. Worked in the metro at least...

Over 5,000 fpm descent over water for an unconscious passenger? Does that make sense?

 

[Minuteman]

Perhaps a member of the crewwe is a poster on here (I dunno) and will be able to provide some context for the actions observed. Or not.

 

[B200 Hawk]

YOU ARE ALL WRONG. CNN SAID THE PLANE DROPPED DROPPED 30000 FEET IN 3 MINUTES!!!!!

Doubtful. Very doubtful.

 

[juxtapilot]

I wonder if when the passenger passed out the pilots thought there was a pressurization problem... This doesn't add up.

Looses door??? Seriously?? Did you pass 5th grade?

That's why it fell off. It was loose.
