That is one hoakey news story. And the Blog with the picture is even
worse. This was a PAC access panel that blew off. My guess is that it
is on the CDL (Not that I would want to do an Ocean crossing with it
missing). I like the FA's reference to a "Shaking" noise.
What is interesting is how certain doors or panels, when left open
will make noise at certain times and not at others. It does make sense
that they noticed this out of 10,000 when they would be
accelerating.
