<p>A passenger on board an Air Canada aircraft suffered the shock of his life after he abruptly opened the door of the plane and ended up landing directly on the tarmac.</p>

<p>The incident took place on Monday (Jan 8) at Pearson International Airport of Toronto. The flight, bound for Dubai from Toronto, was delayed by six hours due to the shocking incident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to the carrier, the passenger on Flight AC056 did not proceed to their seat after boarding, but instead opened a cabin door on the opposite side of the aircraft. This led to his falling onto the tarmac&nbsp;from a good 20 feet. The incident happened as the plane was taxied at the gate of the Toronto airport.</p>

<p>The man was soon apprehended by the responding authorities and taken to hospital for treatment. According to Newsweek, a police investigation determined the individual was "in a state of crisis" and that they suffered minor injuries. The status of their current condition is unclear.</p>
