Air Canada: Woman wakes up alone on dark, parked plane
BBC ^

Posted on 06/23/2019 8:56:29 PM PDT by BenLurkin

Tiffani Adams said she fell asleep while flying from Quebec to Toronto on 9 June. When she woke up, she was freezing cold and still buckled into her seat, but the aircraft was parked.

Ms Adams managed to call her friend Deanna Dale to let her know where she was when her phone died less than a minute into the call.

She was unable to charge her phone as the plane had been shut down.

Ms Dale called Toronto Pearson Airport and told them of Ms Adams' whereabouts.

While she was on board, Ms Adams managed to locate a torch in the cockpit of the plane and attempted to attract attention.

She was found by a luggage cart operator...

Ms Adams said that Air Canada staff offered her a limousine and a hotel but she declined, wanting to return home as quickly as possible.

Air Canada confirmed Ms Adams' account to multiple publications and said it was reviewing the incident.

The worst part of the story is her waiting taxi at the airport curbside.

She owes a LOT of money.

It’s a tradition

69 replies to an aviation-related topic, without an Airplane! reference... is that a record, or what?

I’ve flown so much that my routing is take-off, gear up, eyes closed, nap.
I hate flying so after decades of conditioning I go right out on departure, no big deal.

She says she couldn’t charge her phone or use the plane’s radio to call for help because there was no power on the plane. She found a flashlight in the cockpit and tried sending distress signals out the windows.

After managing to unlock a door, she says she looked for a rope to try climbing down “a 40-50 foot drop.” A luggage cart handler noticed her legs “dangling” out of the plane and helped her jump down safely.

she had to have been passed out from drugs or something.

Lots of people who have a fear of flying will take dramamine which in most cases will put you to sleep.

With that being said, I thought the cabin crew always made a final walk thru to check for left on luggage and such......

“I hope for her sake that the restrooms were still unlocked.”

“Why would they lock the cockpit door
when the plane was empty and parked?”

I’ve read that terrorists have embedded sleepers in airport jobs, probably including aircraft maintenance. There’s no telling what things could’ve been messed with, or planted, by janitorial crews.

When my husband was working at a Newberry store, this happened to him - in high school. A few years ago I was locked in to the doctors office building. They all went home while was sitting on the examination table in a paper gown. Christmas Eve. Glad I had my cell phone.

Anyone who is so deeply asleep that they don’t wake up when a plane lands and all passengers deplane is either in a coma or has passed out from drugs or alcohol.

She has Postimg but is unsure how to use it. I was trying to give a tutorial but She never came back.

The only other thing that I would like Postimg to do is Host Video clips.

But with the options on ready to Copy & Paste right there is really nice.
