So move along pls... nothing to see.
If we are to accept the info from Erwin S quoted above we should also ask "where is the bracket and, if a bracket failed, where are the numerous attachment screws which held the panel in place?" Having removed and replaced many panels during my aviation career I have no doubt this is the result of a maintenance error.
