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.
In that respect, a typical Fokker. Not sure about the door being "torn off", they never got very fast anyway. There was great concern as to what would happen when the door contacted the ground on landing, but it simply rose up.
