From abc.net.au....
CASA probes incident where window falls from plane. An investigation is underway into an incident above the Jandakot Airport where a window fell from a plane.
The Civil Aviation Safety Authority and Transport Safety Bureau are investigating the incident in which a half-kilogram emergency exit window crashed down on a property in the southern Perth suburb of Success.
The Royal Aero Club, which owns the plane says an emergency release mechanism on the window of the twin-engine Piper Seminole popped out during take-off.
The club's general manager John Douglas says the pilot turned back to land immediately, but the window came lose and fell to the ground before the plane landed.

Remember a 402B dropped one in Kakadu....
Be a bit like the scene from The Gods Must Be Crazy depending on where it landed...

Engine out. I had the exact same thing happen to me.... only it was on my very first solo circuit in it! Bloody hell, i was yawing all over the place trying to close it, i eventually managed on finals. Landed to a small crowd of instructors wondering what i was up to.
"The door opened!" i said
"Yeah they'll do that" and they promptly walked off without any hesitation.
