A small plane has landed safely in New York state after its rear door fell off mid-flight.
Police said the plane carrying two people landed at Buffalo Niagara International Airport on Monday, The Associated Press reported.
The private plane lost the door as it flew over Cheektowaga, a few miles south of the airport, according to police in the Buffalo suburb of Cheektowaga.
The plane was in the air for a total of seven minutes, WKBW reporter Michael Schwartz said on social media. It took off from the Buffalo airport at 5:39 p.m. before returning at 5:46 p.m., Schwartz wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
There were no reports of injuries or property damage on the ground, the AP reported. Officers searched for the door but did not immediately find it.
