Yeah, if by earlier you mean 35 years ago. In a totally different airplane design. Literally nothing in common with this flight.
It was before i read it was the door though.
edit: In case its not obvious, would be great if you could post other examples. These events in the air are rather rare and i am rather curious for the upcoming ntsb report of this one.
edit1: Apparently the newer one is a 737 from Southwest from 10 years ago, also maintenance issues. But like similar ones it was rather small https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_812
