O'Hare ground incident

I suspect that flight was late.
OOPs....
Did dude go in??
Oh man.
Oh man.
I assume that engine is a total loss now?
Pretty much.
Is it my imagination, or is STUPID stuff like this happening more often lately?

Ground vehicles are required to yield to aircraft.
Not even close to yielding in this example.
Too often, ground vehicles, like catering trucks and baggage carts, think “yield” means “floor it and get there first”.
Look how fast that tractor was pulling those carts.
That cost American around $10 million because of their willful failure to follow rules.

How much did the guy pulling the cart care? Minimum, like his wage.
What happened exactly? Looks like the lead container fell off and then knocked off the next three. Was it just going too fast? I would have thought more likely it wasn't properly fastened.
I would have thought there should be a locking mechanism like a marine shipping container on a rail chassis. I found some photos and there should be several handles that lock in the bottom of the "unit load device" (who comes up with these names?) to the bed.

I would think more than that. This one mentions 3 planes, which I'm guessing means 6 engines.

Kinda rude and I doubt it.
Can AA sue for loss of revenue due to the aircraft being out of service ?
What I meant is the guy probably isn't paid enough to give a crap. I'm not shaming him for making minimum wage, but it did come across that way. Sorry for that.
Well, if it’s a baggage cart from another airline, perhaps, but it’s just as likely to be one of their own…
Of greater importance is preventing this from happening again.

I definitely hear it happening more than in the past with my own airline.

Yikes. Don't know what they teach in the work place today. The job I retired from preached SAFETY FIRST to us daily for 30 yrs. Matter of fact , they even told you on the very first day of orientation "the quickest way out the gate=getting fired is to get caught in a safety violation."
