Incidental damage to cabin floor

I recall that many years ago a DC10(or Tristar) outbound from CDG, suffered decommpression while climbing. It transpired to be caused by incomplete closure of a baggage door.The result was loss of pressure in the hold ,but not in cabin which in turn led to cabin floor rupture and fatal damage to the control runs. This occurence sounds similar (although maybe frm different cause), so why no catastrophic floor damage?
