SHORTLY AFTER TAKEOFF, THE PLT'S DOOR CAME OPEN. HE TRIED TO CLOSE IT, BUT WAS UNABLE, SO HE TURNED BACK TOWARD THE ARPT TO LAND. WHILE MAKING A TURN BEFORE LANDING, THE ENG LOST POWER. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE ACFT STARTED FALLING TO THE RIGHT & CRASHED. AN INESTIGATION REVEALED NO REASON FOR THE LOSS OF POWER. THE PASSENGER SAID THE DOOR HAD COME OPEN ON A PREVIOUS FLT, ABOUT 2 WKS EARLIER.
