Explaining her ordeal, Tiffani, through a friend, posted on Air Canada's Facebook page saying, "I fell asleep probably less than halfway through my short 1.5-hour flight. I wake up around midnight (few hours after flight landed) freezing cold still strapped in my seat in complete darkness (I’m talking pitch black)." She writes, "I can't charge my phone to call for help I'm full on panicking (because) I want off this nightmare asap. As someone with an anxiety disorder as is, I can tell you how terrifying this was."

Here is the Facebook post:

Adams said that she found a torch in the plane's cockpit and eventually made her way to the aircraft's main door. When she opened the door she found herself 50 ft above ground. Not knowing what to do, she sat dangling her legs out of the aircraft sending signals with the torch. After quite some time, she saw an airport employee and yelled for help. Tiffani says the man was "in shock" to see after and asked, "how the heck they left me on the plane".

He then accompanied her to the airport building where she met Air Canada representatives. Tiffani said the incident has left her with recurring "night terrors". She faced difficulty sleeping would wake up "anxious and afraid (she was) locked up someplace dark". Air Canada confirmed the incident and said that they were in contact with the passenger. The airlines also replied to Tiffani's friend saying, "Hello Deanna, we're surprised to hear that, and we're very concerned. Could you please advise Tiffani to contact us through private message with her flight details. We'll take a look into it. /Lea."
