I also like hating on Boeing, but this is just a shitty slop article. It was torn off by the airstairs truck.

Very baffling indeed...

During the positioning of an airstair, the truck collided against the right, front part of the fuselage, peeling off the Dreamliner's door number 2. No people was hurt neither on the ground or in the aircraft.
