On the other hand, she may have just made it up, according to the DM:

"The flight attendant lied on the tarmac in Shenzhen Airport after falling from the cabin door".

Copy edit much?

Does the Daily Mail simply not employ copy editors? Or is it that the copy editors employed by the Daily Mail do not actually speak English?

An astonishing number of people mix up lay and lie, don’t they.

From the number of mistakes I see in US papers it is apparent that there are no copy editors (or fact checkers).

There are very beatiful women among cabin crew, some very clever other ones I do not know. What I do not understand is how something like that can happen

In this case it's not just the lie / lay confusion, it's the odd grammar and word choice from the first line ("Fell off from a cabin door") to the last paragraph ("Do crosscheck")

And that's before we even get to the facts; the article states in more than one place that "the plane was ready to take off" when the photos seem to show it at the gate.

Because China Eastern Airlines have no door protection in place. Be it safety straps, nets or steps.

My old commercial airline simply did not permit any cabin door on an aircraft to be open without appropriate steps/ground equipment in place.

And, as for the beauty of cabin crew, I don't understand what you are trying to say in relation to this incident.

The question has to asked why was she opening the door in the first place ?

As Tray Surfer mentioned, the door should not be opened without any steps or ground equipment in place beforehand.

In my BOAC days it was normal practice to open doors before steps arrived. Also often opened doors and threw documents down to ground staff.

It was in the later Health & Safety era that this practice stopped.
