                For Part 2 of the Requirement document:

Background:     The manufacturer received a report of damage to a sub-frame that supports the bottom aft roller of the main baggage bay door.  The sub-frame is primary structure of the door and failure of the sub-frame could allow other structure to fail.  Failure of the door structure could cause a sudden loss of cabin pressure.
