Cargo plane loses door, ejects passengers at 33,000 feet.

From ABC News.

A couple of commentators have expressed concern about civilian airliners.

I have not heard anyone on the radio or TV yet clarify the difference between a cargo plane's large doors and the plug doors on a civilian airliner. The latter CANNOT blow off under pressure, even if unlatched, since they basically open inwards.
