Overpressure from whatever source is a widely known cause of DOOR pop off syndrome.

some small doors/panels are designed to blow off under an overpressure. I wasn't aware that this large one was designed so with all those fasteners. Seems like there may have been other escapes if there was an overpressure in that area.
