How come AEU and Easyjet depressurisation threads are on here, yet there is nothing about the Jet2 737-300 ( G-CEL?) which had to perform an emergency descent after one at 36000' ?
Perhaps the passengers weren't screaming in terror as the aircraft plunged 30,000ft? If so, no point in printing it in the papers because it won't help sell them.

I'm led to believe (from several credible sources), that it was a problem with a cargo door, but I wouldn't have thought that would affect the passenger cabin or would it? Any answers would be appreciated.
Generally the whole aircraft is pressurised, so losing a cargo door puts a lot of downward stress on the cabin floor and, in the case of some aircraft (thinking DC10 here), will distort the floor and seize the control cables. running under it.
