  "account": "The Nigeria Safety Investigation Bureau has disclosed that a private jet's door detached mid-flight in October after a crew member attempted to recheck the door's security. This incident occurred during the aircraft's climb from Abuja to Lagos, with the plane carrying registration number T7-SEI and flight identification DWC052. The report stated that the pilot monitoring noticed an unusually rapid increase in cabin altitude, prompting the captain to instruct the flight crew to recheck the door's security. The cabin crew member inspected the door and confirmed it appeared closed, but the pilot was unsatisfied and asked her to take a closer look. As the crew member approached the door, it suddenly detached from the aircraft, forcing the flight crew to declare an emergency and make an immediate return to Abuja airport. The detached door was later recovered by farmers from a nearby farmland.",
