New Zealand PM hurt in flight drama

The door to a plane carrying New Zealand’s prime minister blew open mid-flight earlier today, forcing the pilot into a sharp descent and emergency landing that left the leader badly bruised, but otherwise unharmed.

The door became dislodged when the aircraft hit turbulence at 8,000 feet. Two security officers grabbed the open door and held it in place while the pilot guided the plane down to a nearby airport.
