  • I like how the whole ride is lit so the bag doesn't get scared in the dark.

    They need a system like this for people. Imagine getting to the airport, scanning a bar code, and sitting on a conveyor that just about takes you to your plane.

    Those doors that change the bags direction at the last second remind me of my life.

    Never in my life would I ever imagine a news channel saying POV
  • @concorde2003
    That was almost as exhausting as walking to the gate.
  • @Anhedonis
    They should add little cutouts of Dutch children and play the It’s a Small World song so my luggage could be entertained.

    Watching this a 2x speed is like watching Space Mountain with the lights on.
  • @Gibbs2Go
    What has my life come to that I just watched the pov of a bag.
  • @mchristhomas
    They obviously skipped the bit where it's kicked, thrown and rumaged thru by members of ground staff🤔
  • @YamiPheonix531
    So there’s an entire Amazon warehouse distribution hub underneath every airport. Interesting.

    Toy story 2 made me think that the luggage check was going to more complicated than this

    I'm curious what the view looks like when the staff haven't been warned to be on best behaviour for the news crew. I once checked a bag in Toronto only to find myself standing in the baggage claim area in Halifax watching my socks, underwear, and tshirts slide out on the conveyor one by one, followed my my suitcase with one side squashed and the other side bulging, and the torn off zipper trailing behind it like a tail. Somewhere along the way, a baggage handler(?) had wrapped it in electrical tape to keep the larger items from falling out, but I was on a long work trip, so there was literally two months worth of socks and underwear I had to gather up while the other passengers stood around laughing. Experiences like that are the ones that need to be recorded to show how bags are really handled!
