A passenger fell from a Boeing 777 while it was on the tarmac at Toronto Pearson International Airport, sustaining injuries after opening the cabin door before takeoff on Jan. 8.
The occurrence took place during the boarding of flight AC056, an Air Canada flight destined for Dubai from Toronto, as first reported by Global News.
The passenger, who had initially boarded without issue, opened a door on the aircraft’s opposite side while the plane was still at the gate, leading to an unexpected fall onto the tarmac. The event necessitated the intervention of emergency services and authorities.
The incident caused a significant delay for the flight, nearly six hours, which was set to transport 319 passengers.

Walk into any American airport today and pause. Look around at the travelers waiting at the gate, the families queuing for fast food, the crowds rushing past. You are looking at a country that our grandparents would not recognize. In less than three generations, the very shape of the American body has shifted so dramatically that what would once have been regarded as rare or concerning is now routine. Airplane seats have been widened, retail clothing racks have been extended, mannequins have been reshaped, and soda cups have been enlarged. Entire industries have recalibrated to accommodate a physiology that is neither healthy nor sustainable.
Yet our cultural ...

I watched this last night and glad I found today to share. Greg was fired up and rightly so.
