"No details have been released about the passenger, their injuries or what caused the incident to occur at this time."

But those are the only things I want to know about this.

Air Canada confirmed to Global News that during the boarding of flight AC056, a passenger “who had boarded the aircraft normally,” opened a cabin door on the opposite side of the aircraft, instead of going to their seat while the aircraft was at the gate.

First thing I want to do when I get on an Air Canada flight is to leave, this guy was was brave enough to do it.

Some details.would be good...elderly person with dementia, drug mule realizing dubai customs might be an issue?

Maybe they were expecting the slide to be armed? Although if you just want to go outdoors then there's a more convenient emergency exit on each airbridge.

According to the Air Canada website, flight AC056 departed nearly six hours behind schedule as a result of the incident.

That's pretty good for Air Canada, the latest airline in North America.

I'm all for removing warnings labels and letting the societal issues of stupidity resolve themselves but perhaps they'll now add a sticker that says "not a toilet" to avoid future confusion...
