Freitag said authorities don't understand why the door flew off.

He went to look for the door ...and couldn’t find what he was looking for.

In-flight refueling is one thing...

I have never liked being on aircraft with the doors closed, but this is something else.

Maybe the plane was serviced by “certified mechanics” who can’t tell a wing tank fuel sensor from a fuselage fuel sensor, as happened to a friend of mine.

Maybe you might remember the DC-10 had a design problem from the beginning. The cargo door tended to blow out and caused the accident near Paris in 1974. I wonder if this was similar?

How would one ever get that type of aircraft fuel in Canada? I can see it now;

Pilot: “I need some fuel, Jet A”
Attendant: “Jet eh?”
Pilot: “Yes. Jet A”
Attendant “Jet eh?”

and so on...

Pressure

As in the difference between the atmospheric pressure on the inside of the fuselage is greater than the pressure on the outside.
