"Air Canada Rouge Flight 1502 was taxiing toward the runway at Toronto Pearson International Airport when Caron noticed flight attendants frantically running down the aisle of the cabin. The plane eventually came to a halt before reaching the runway and Caron looked out the window. We could see the crew gathering around the plane, so we knew something was happening, she said. Then, the pilot tells us that there is someone from the crew in the luggage hold."
"When the worker eventually made it out safely, Caron said, he entered the airplane's cabin to let everyone know he was safe. The incident on the Airbus 321A, which can carry up to 184 passengers, happened Dec. 13. "The aircraft cargo doors were inadvertently closed while a member of the ground crew was inside," Air Canada said in an email over the weekend. The airline also confirmed there were no injuries, and the incident is under investigation."
