At this stage it still is about ...'What'... Which means, like @DaveReidUK posted, listing possible scenarios. Hope for better and more detailed pictures as well as more information.

@ErwinS... Would be interesting if you could provide public domain links to similar cases (you suggested there are some) or Boeing bulletins.
This particular panel coming adrift has been an issue for years, the support bracket design isnt the best in the world. If you have access to myboeingfleet there is a long discussion about it.
