Probably happened just like the one on a BA 777 at EGKK a couple of years ago. Forget taxying ( journo rubbish ? ) most likely cause is driving away the steps before closure of the door and catching part of it. Makes a fine mess ......the BA one was left dangling on the integral chains !.......funniest thing was that when the SLF were being offloaded , some were questioning as to why "their plane" could not depart !!!
