I don't think I've seen this happen before

Delta flight from Denver to Minneapolis.  I was in seat 1B on McDonnell Douglas 90.  That is first row of first class...two seats on right and two seats on left.  1B is the seat that kind of sticks out into the aisle.

During the takeoff climb, the cockpit door flies open!  I can see the pilots clearly, the cockpit controls, and out the front windows.  The cockpit door was open for awhile before the lead flight attendant got up to try to close it.  The plane is at a pretty steep angle and she had difficulty pushing the door closed...let alone the danger of standing while the plane is taking off.

Not a word was said by anyone.  The flight attendant got the door closed and sat back down.
