A video of a flight attendant holding on to the bathroom door of an aircraft in flight has fallen off, making headlines.

According to foreign media such as the New York Post, the bathroom door of Cathay Pacific Airlines flight CX840 leaving Hong Kong for New York broke down on the 15th (local time).

The bathroom door fell off the fixture about three minutes after takeoff and was close. The crew tried to fix the bathroom door to no avail.

In the video, the door is tilted diagonally and a female flight attendant is holding it so that it does not fall any further.

Eventually, in the 16 hours before arriving in New York, the crew had to take turns holding the door.

Cathay Pacific said "The defect has been corrected and the engineering team is conducting a follow-up investigation" he said.

Netizens are responding to "You have to pay extra allowances to the crew who are locked in", "How old is this airplane", "The problem of maintenance defects".
