The bathroom door came off its hinges just three minutes into flight CX840 flying from Hong Kong International Airport to John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens on Monday, according to the South China Morning Post.

Photos show a fed-up looking flight attendant holding the detached door in place while she is strapped in her seat.

Other images show staff members apparently attempting to try and put the broken door back in place.

It was not immediately clear how the door came apart of it anyone had been in the restroom at the time of the incident.
