That shows the strength of the aircraft and the standard it was built too, on nearly any other type the door would have been torn off and likely impacted the wing or tailplane on its way.

To have even been considered for aircraft carrier use it would have to have been a solid piece of kit, deck landings are basically controlled crashes.
