Quick question (from a passenger flyer only):

Is it not a possibly lucky event that whatever flew off the Oxy Bottle (Presumably the brass regulator?) actually hit the door handle and was therefore able to dissipate some of its energy into a moveable object...rather than hit the roof and possibly hole the aircraft from the inside? That door handle may have saved a bigger event?

Any feedback?
