The Jakarta Post, Tanjungpinang Tue, May 21 2013
An emergency door of Sriwijaya Air flight number SJ 039 broke off as passengers were boarding at Raja Haji Fisabilillah airport in Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands, on Tuesday.
The aircraft, scheduled to depart for Soekarno-Hatta airport, Jakarta, at 7 a.m. local time, had to delay take off until the damaged door was replaced.
“Shortly after I took my seat, an emergency exit door in the right side of the aircraft suddenly detached and the emergency chute also opened,” one of the passengers told Antara news agency.
Tanjungpinang-branch Sriwijaya Air manager Gusmansyah said the aircraft was actually in good condition.
"If the emergency equipment does not function, an aircraft is not allowed to fly,” said Gusmansyah.
("the aircraft was actually in good condition.If the emergency equipment does not function, an aircraft is not allowed to fly,” said Gusmansyah
old Kesas is in total agreement with this statement, but what of this door falling off in full flight like that flight years ago to Hawaii, foetsie the door, plenty suck-suck and everyone outof the hole, no need for the slide, just clean air and free fall
