This does not make since... Belly panel flew off, but they made no mention of pressurization. If it was a bolt on panel that covers up something then it is not structural... The article does not say enough... Someone left out a lot of details.
is there a boundary layer in that part of the aircraft during flight? It's hard to see from the pic that without a boundary layer existing how you don't get problems with air whooshing into the open hole and loosen or rip off other parts of the plane in that area.
