GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) - Aviation officials say the main passenger door fell off a twin-jet business plane as it was taking off from Grand Junction Regional Airport, but no one was hurt.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Mike Fergus says the door tumbled from the Bombardier Challenger CL-60 shortly after 5 p.m. on Monday. He didn't know how high the plane was. It returned to the airport and landed safely.

Fergus says the cause isn't known. FAA investigators are expected at the airport Tuesday.
