Ottawa Citizen
The pilot of an Air Canada Jazz flight from Ottawa to Winnipeg stepped out 20 minutes from Winnipeg to go to the restroom.When he finished, he found he was locked out of the cockpit and couldn't get back in to land the plane. Passengers watched as the captain banged on the cockpit door for 10 minutes, but apparently neither the first officer nor the flight attendant in the cockpit with him could get the door open. The pilot finally took the door off its hinges in time to land the plane. Air Canada admitted the incident did occur, but said that a pilot lockout is a "non-reportable incident" that doesn't have to be reported to Transport Canada.

A man who stepped out of a bank in Orlando, Fla., looked suspicious to passersby. "Witnesses said they could see smoke coming out of his pants," a police spokeswoman said. Sure enough, the bank had just been robbed, and the thief had stuffed the loot down his pants. Included with the bills was a dye pack, which exploded shortly after he went out the door. Police stopped Kenneth Ray Brooks, 42, and were pretty sure they had the right guy: his crotch was still smoldering and his hands were dyed bright red. "The suspect was taken to a local hospital as a result of possible burning injuries to his person," the arrest report noted.
