Well, sort of, like the scene in Airplane! where the bags are at the carousel waiting for the passengers:
Confused Woman Goes Down Baggage Chute at Swedish Airport
Friday, August 29, 2008
Fox News
An elderly woman had an unexpected layover while attempting to check in at Sweden’s main airport Tuesday. The 78-year-old woman misunderstood instructions and fell down a baggage chute after placing herself, rather than her bags, on the belt, AFP reported.
The woman, who was not named, was preparing to depart from Stockholm’s Arlanda Airport for Germany, when she lay down on the baggage belt thinking she was following the check-in instructions.
Staff members helped her catch her flight after she was swept off to the baggage handling center.

haha.. We should not laugh.. but it is funny….
I think thats a great idea to introduce this system… hopefully it will help the passengers who seem to get lost in the terminal or forget they are meant to be boarding a flight when they are in the airside pub!!! :dev2:
Cheers

It is still funny! Can you imagine being the baggage handlers seeing a woman coming down the baggage shute? Probably shook his head a couple of times and rubbed his eyes only to realize, THIS IS THE REAL THING!
What is pathetic is I can think of some people who just might do this too!:eek:
Still cannot stop laughing when I see this post!
Same Same!!
