A small plane managed to land safely last night at Buffalo Niagara International Airport in New York after the pilot "reported losing the left rear passenger door" during flight, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says.
An FAA spokesperson said in a statement to FOX Business on Tuesday that the single-engine Diamond DA40 aircraft, which was carrying two people, touched down around 5:30 p.m. local time.
The FAA is now reviewing the incident. There were no reports of injuries.
The Cheektowaga Police Department told WIVB that the pilot reported losing the door while flying over Stiglmeier Park in Cheektowaga, which is a few miles from the airport.

So incredibly short of details. For example, what kind of plane?

Diamond aircraft is based in Austria.
This is a light GA aircraft, has nothing to do with Boeing.
When aircraft accidents happen, the mockingbird media starts reporting anything that sounds like the banner line accident.
Truth is, in GA, crap like this happens every day.

Considering how a DA-40 latches, that is really strange. I’ve got lots of time in a 40.

Nice airplane, huh?
Dipwad who was flying it probably didn’t lock the door.

I see a canopy and a hatch cover ... not sure I’d call either of those things a “door”.

It has four seats. You could put The Doors in it.
Now, seriously ... how the heck do either of those covers detach in flight?
