Narrative:
On sep/xa/00, I was working flight XXX aircraft xyz. I noticed that the jetbridge had come in contact with the L-1 door causing the lower portion of the door to be distorted, at which time I informed the captain of possible damage to the door. I then informed him that I was returning to the maintenance office to pull up the proper maintenance manual inspection paperwork. Upon my return, the aircraft had departed the gate for its flight. I feel that this may be a potential safety hazard, therefore, I am submitting this report.
