I don't know what kind of damage that does or what kind of noise it makes in the air but it didn't seem like the best idea to me. I'm really hoping they didn't just check the doors page and figure everything was good.
Sounds like the huffer cart connection (high pressure door) but only one person (Furious George) can answer this question for sure but if you were behind the airplane this is one of the doors you could see open along with low pressure conditioned air connection both are towards the rear. But i do not know what direction they open as I never see the door open because the huffer cart is connected usually after we get on the airplane prior to start.
