A jet owned by leading Brazilian airline TAM landed safely on Tuesday after one of its doors fell off and crashed to earth next to a supermarket shortly after departure from Sao Paulo.
No one was hurt in the incident, a TAM spokeswoman said. The Fokker 100 plane with 79 people aboard en route to Rio de Janeiro returned to the airport safely 18 minutes after taking off.

Reading the article, it looks like TAM has had problems with this type of aircraft before. I wonder is there some maintenance issue. They have a nice feature on that article: a link called "click here to have your say. Sadly it doesn't work! I get this "Database INSERT Error"!

Am I imagining things or have all the smilies moved around?
