You could potentially take off and land with all cabin doors missing and it would be uneventful. Also, since the plug door was in the aft section and was blown with some force, it would be less likely to hit any part of the plane. I wouldn't term anything miraculous there.

Yes, the door did not injure anyone on the ground (but it wasn't over a densely populated area) and the iPhone did not break is indeed miraculous.
Complete and utter nonsense. Inflight rapid depressurization is an immediate and very serious danger. The whole door detached from the aircraft and the hull is compromised. People don't need to die or seriously hurt for it to be a serious danger. Anytime a piece of an aircraft detached inflight, it can hit any number of part on the aircraft with potential of compromising flight control.

Stop taking such a dimmed view of aviation safety and other people's lives.
