Locals who saw the door from a small plane plummet towards a Far South Coast beach, landing just metres from a fisherman, say it was "a crazy situation to witness".

In short:

Surfers say they feared they were about to “witness something pretty horrible” as the door from a plane fell towards South Broulee Beach last week.

The door landed in coastal scrub 20 metres from a fisherman, with the pilot telling airport staff its “latch was not secured properly”.

What’s next?

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau says it will not conduct an investigation as it would be “unlikely to yield any new safety lessons”.

    I enjoy being “randomly” selected for further screening for five flights in series and having my balls fondled in public.
