Trending online right now is a shocking video capturing the moment when a flight attendant accidentally fell out of an open airplane door while it was parked at the tarmac.

The Xiamen Airlines stewardess is seen carrying out her duties on the Boeing 737 aircraft at Zhengzhou Xinzhou International Airport when suddenly she stumbles out the rear door. Despite the unexpected tumble, she managed to grip onto the floor of the plane but eventually let go and fell to the ground.

It’s believed that the unidentified employee was preparing the plane for the next flight during a short stopover in the Chinese city when she tripped and fell back.

Although the flight attendant suffered no permanent injuries, she was rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery at a local hospital to fix a broken bone in her chest.

The incident is being reported as an accident, however, an investigation is still underway.
