Well done News of the World!!! That story has made my Sunday morning!!! Hilarious!!!! I think it must be a slow news day, and one of the new interns has been told "make a story from this complete non-event" and they have really taken them at their word!!!
I love the fact that the passenger "knew we were too low" (except actually, they weren't) and the "aviation expert" either isn't a commercial pilot or has no media training!!
It was a loose door handle. Therefore they chose to return. No open door, no passengers about to get sucked out, no engines on fire in the air, no loss of control, it was at no point 'doomed' and it was a normal landing.
I had a "door open" indication the other week, on the take-off run. Do you think I should sell my story to the News of the World?
