Confused Woman Goes Down Baggage Chute at Swedish Airport

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.

I sort of laughed my A off before I clicked into the thread and realized this was an old lady. But seeing as she wasn't hurt and didn't miss her flight, that was pretty darn hilarious.

Ack! Poor woman! She must have been scared more than anything else, especially if the attendants noticed and started yelling in shock.
