Original Toronto Star caption: Grounded by strike of Air Canada baggage handlers; stranded airline passengers pack the ticket area of Terminal 1 at Toronto International Airport last night in search of alternative means of travel. Some line-ups at ticket counters extended outside the terminal building. But it was a different scene at Terminal 2; which was shut down by Air Canada. An eerie silence occupied the normally busy facility.
