With no trucks or anything next to it (seemingly just after the occurrence), I wonder if it was some sort of malfunction. Or a passenger that really wanted to get off the plane quick.
The Captain said it was an FA on the previous flight that did. I would presume that the FA did not disarm the door as required. Because the gate agents were speculating if they found the FA that made the mistake. If it was a FA that opened the door that would be an easy one.
