After living in an airport for seven months, a Syrian man is granted asylum in Canada

For seven months, Hassan al-Kontar was trapped in air-conditioned purgatory. Stranded in Terminal 2 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, he slept under stairwells and lived off leftover chicken-and-rice dinners from AirAsia flights. He documented his daily life in video diaries that he posted on Twitter, inspiring comparisons to Tom Hanks' character in 2004"^2s "The Terminal."
