So what caused the door to fly miles out of the vault?

[Aradiel]

I didn't get it

[KitKat]

It was sent out flying by the "Rule of cool", I guess. No other explanation - it's a live-service game by Bethesda. You can't expect proper explanations of things lol.

The lost used a mini nuke behind it?

I think it was caused by the second activation of the weather machine by Hugo or the lighting zombies rampaging

Beans. Lots of people eating tins of beans.

Lore wise, as it was in the PTS it was us. The Vault 76 Dwellers nuking the hell out of Appalachia and one of them which hit the mine to spawn the giant mole boss caused the collapse and shot the door far away.

thank you for the clarification

[Voden]

Someone tried opening the vault door with FPS limiters off.

but the main purpose of the vault door is to withstand a nuclear strike

And then, someone lights a match.

Yes, but has any vault in any of the games ever survive a nuclear strike head on or close to head on?

They even talk about how the vault was so big that some parts were not even fully finished; which is why almost all (I think?) are ghouls, and why they even became lost in the first place. Due to how unfinished parts of the vault were and they were leaking radiation turning them into ghouls and feral ghouls. This weather machine was designed (perhaps?) to revert feralization.

Terrible writing. This whole expansion cant have taken more than a few weeks to make.

It was a Blazing Saddles beans around the CAMPfire moment ... BOOM !

Notice how it bounced down the road near Sutton but if you track a straight path it doesn't end back at V63? It must have followed a curved trajectory (possible with wind resistance).

But, wow, it flew a long way... that much steel travelling that far would do considerable damage, probably a crater the size of the Toxic Valley (look at the geography, it's an inpact crater). The Overseer would definitely be dead from the shockwave (Tunguska).

I don't get it. Why start in the Valley instead of the Ash Heap? It's many decisions like this from Bethesda that have me hate them so...

Poor writing did that. I don't think that people who wrote this, had any remote understanding what kind of power you would need to toss a vault door that weight at the very least around 1000+ tons up to 5 kilometers away from the vault it is originated from.

In terms of its overall design, the shelter's pressure door is strongly reminiscent of the already existing biological containment shell on reactors. Such a shell weighs 2000 tons. So around 700-1000 tons is my best bet on how much this door might weight. Not even direct nuclear blast would move that door. Vaul-tech estimated that failure of their doors was close to 2% if it get's a direct nuclear blast. There was nothing about their doors flying 5 km away from a vault. This is nuts.
