HALLANDALE, Fla. ? The cabin door of an airborne jet broke loose and plummeted onto a Florida golf course, just missing private condos.
The Canadair CL600 jet took off from Opa-Locka Executive Airport in Miami on Wednesday heading north when the 280lb (127kg) door fell off, The Sun-Sentinel reported.
It landed on the fairway of the 16th hole at The Diplomat Resort Spa in Hallandale Beach, narrowly missing nearby homes.
Fortunately, it was one of two days in the year that the course was closed while the greens were tended to.
Ed Walls, general manager of the $5,000-a-year resort, said, ?It?s the stairway from heaven. Fortunately there was no one on the grounds at the time and we?re very glad that no one got hurt. The course is ringed by private condo towers, so we are very fortunate that it landed where it did.?
The Federal Aviation Administration launched an investigation into the incident.
The co-owner of the jet, Jeffrey Berkowitz, exited the plane with his wife and two sons in Miami before it took off again.
He praised the pilot for avoiding any injuries and safely landing the aircraft after the door fell off.
He told the newspaper, ?We had just gotten off of it minutes before. I feel like I am completely blessed. I?m anxious to see the results of the investigation.?
The plane was due to fly to Pompano Beach, but was diverted to Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
