So, someone on the ground gets: A door. An inner panel. A chilhttps://theaircurrent.com/feed/dispa...zation-issues/d's shirt. A seat cover. And, per the BBC, a cellular phone.

Amazingly the nearby tray table remained in place.

I picture a rural location where someone, looking up into a tree, says "Bob? What the hell did you get up to last night?"
I wonder if that cellular phone rings out if called? Would give a rough location of the "door" maybe?
