An Air Canada passenger sustained injuries after they opened a cabin door and plunged onto the tarmac. The incident happened on Jan. 8 when the Air Canada plane, a Boeing 777, was sitting on the tarmac at Toronto Pearson International Airport and was preparing to take-off for Dubai.

Air Canada's spokesperson said the passenger "boarded the [Boeing 777] aircraft normally". But instead of going to his seat, the unnamed male passenger opened a cabin door and fell, causing lengthy delays, reported Canadian television network Global News.
