Narrative:

12-15 mins into the flight, I was getting the beverage cart set-up and service into the main cabin. The captain made an announcement to land in miami, due to an air leak at the forward entry door. He ordered the flight attendants to prepare for landing after his announcement. The cockpit proceeded with a slow descent into miami airport. After landing into miami, passenger were ordered to remain on the plane, while the door was repaired by miami maintenance crew. Meanwhile, passenger were allowed to use the lavatory facilities. During the slow descent, passenger called flight attendants for water to take medications due to anxiety attacks. No passenger were injured, nor was crew. The plane proceeded to boston after door seal was replaced in miami.
