Many years ago I bowled up to the gate at YYZ. We had a very senior lady on board line-checking the cabin staff.

Very senior lady line-checker volunteered to open 1 Door Left and forgot to disarm the slide.

DC-10 slides are quite large and this one inflated INSIDE the jetway. The "meeters and greeters" on the outside had to run for their lives to avoid suffocation!
