In May a cargo door opened in mid-flight on an aircraft in the
Democratic Republic of Congo, sending scores of people plunging to
their deaths.

How is that possible if the passenger cabin is separate
from the cargo bay... unless some passengers were IN
the cargo area...???

That Il-76 was cargo-configured, and since there are few roads in most of
Africoonia, there is a quick buck to be made hauling kaffirs as cargo.
Mbongo and company pay on a per-pound basis and they simply sit atop the
frozen beef sides and bags of coffee beans, hanging on to whatever they can
during takeoff and landing. Since no one was belted in when the rear doors
popped, explosive decompression produced the "peashooter effect" and 200
natives did a mass skydive...
