Lucky Day For Alpine Pilot
Just heard about this from a friend- does anyone have any additional details? From the article, sounds like a pod door opened:

I like how at the end they need to add the fatal accidents that the carrier had. In the newsroom: "So an airplane door opened and no one died? Not good enough... find out if they had any other accidents and add that to the end so its more interesting."

I think the media was digging for a story on this one. I flew the podded 99, and, like others have said already, its not an airworthiness issue if it opened.
