From the Vancouver Sun,
VANCOUVER -- Passengers on board an Air Canada flight from Sydney, Australia to Vancouver had to disembark the old-fashioned way yesterday morning when the nose gear of their jet accidentally went into the grass.
Flight 34 made a safe and normal landing, but when the Boeing 777 turned off the runway to the taxiway it went into the rough instead.
The 276 passengers were taken off using the mobile stairs, and then they were bused to the international terminal.
An Air Canada official says there were no injuries or flight delays. The airline will investigate how the jet made the wonky turn.
