ATLANTA — Stop that suitcase! A rogue piece of luggage went off the rails recently at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, evading grounds crew and seemingly defying physics when it spun out of control down the runway.
Flight attendant Michael Orsini caught the entire episode on video, during which passengers can be heard laughing and pondering how the suitcase could be capable of reaching such speeds and travelling so far.
It can first be seen leisurely swiveling away from the aircraft, but then picks up steam shortly after as it spins towards the airport. At one point, it crosses paths with a driver in a black pickup truck, who either didn’t see the renegade luggage fly by or was too bewildered to put a stop to it.
One passenger marvelled over the quality of the suitcase’s wheels, while another simply asked, “How is this happening?!”
We have no idea how, but sometimes the greatest mysteries of life are best left unexplained.
