On the other hand - somebody in Germany is going to probably find some kool stuff - as all the luggage was missing :)
It wasn't the cabin door - it was the baggage compartment door. Major difference.
Agreed. At the time that I posted the link, it said "Cabin Door". I see it has been updated. That IS a major difference.
It also wasn't at 15000' - it was after crossing into Germany at or below 8000'.
Also the Lear was a 2.4 million dollar 2009 Lear 60XR that was delivered new to Daimler Chrysler, currently operated by German operator MHS - which the German event hired to pick Bono up in Dublin and bring him to an event in Berlin.
The rear cargo hatch - and cargo area is a non pressurized area of the aircraft and would have little affect on the flight.
