A flight attendant held up the broken door for the duration of the journey from Hong Kong to New York.

  • The door came off its hinges three minutes after take-off, likely due to loose screws.
  • Passengers were not harmed as they were seated with seat belts fastened during take-off.
  • Cathay Pacific has launched an investigation and apologized for the inconvenience.
  • Engineering experts noted the incident was fortunate to occur when passengers were seated.
  • There is no established protocol for handling such incidents during take-off.
