you know thats funny
but the bolts that backed out....could not have backed out unless the door had been opened. the door sits against them just like a door hinge on your house....my bet is they were removed by ????

when i 1st saw it... i thought maybe a previous passenger may have unlatched the handle that allows the door to be jettisoned and no one noticed during the passenger swap, as the seat was unoccupied when it choose to depart.
i still think the faa and Boeing are not being above board to prevent copy cats.
next time your in a plane sitting next to the egress exit door and look closely
as you could be the next FREE FALLING passenger

My boss’s wife was flying to SC today. He told her to just keep her seat belt on the whole time and she’d be fine.when i 1st saw it... i thought maybe a previous passenger may have unlatched the handle that allows the door to be jettisoned and no one noticed during the passenger swap, as the seat was unoccupied when it choose to depart.

Has Boeing never heard of Loc-Tite?

I personally know a Boeing engineer. He is one of several respected, professional people who told me that if you need LocTite either it's a bad design, inferior fasteners or improper pitch/thread.

i will try to dig up a pick of the frame...the bolts for the frame go through into a captured locking nut, or used to and even if they unscrewed a bit the frame of door stops the bolt from falling out
maybe they changed on the new air-frame version....but its strange indeed
maybe the bolts were fake and sheared under a shear load.
