Airplane Door Falls on Golf Course

Transfer on the Spot reports on a private jet that lost its door when flying over a Florida golf course this past week.  The jet in question is the Canadair CL600 and it was traveling from Opa-Locka to Pompano Beach when it had to divert and land at the For Launderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

FAA Spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen stated, “An airport vehicle met the aircraft as it exited the runway and escorted it to Bombardier Aviation (a maintenance facility on the airport) where it was discovered that the main cabin door was missing.”

The jet’s door had separated from the plane and proceeded to crash through trees and bounce onto a golf course at Hallandale Beach. The damage to the golf course has not been revealed but the course is closed at this time.
