    SAO PAULO, Brazil - The door of a TAM airlines plane fell off minutes after takeoff Tuesday and plunged into a supermarket's concrete awning, the airline said.

    The Fokker-100 plane, carrying 79 Rio de Janeiro-bound passengers, returned to Sao Paulo's Congonhas Airport less than 20 minutes after departing when the door "unexpectedly" flew open and "detached" itself from the plane, TAM Linhas Aereas SA said in a statement.

    The passengers continued their flight to Rio on another TAM aircraft, the airline said. No one was injured on the plane or ground.

    The cause of the accident was being investigated, TAM said.
