Wish he worked in the White House.

He saved 5 or 6 coworkers, that truck hitting the plane could have bounced debris and large parts directly at those people standing motionless.
And it looks like a mock plane in the background (ironically) used for training maybe?
More likely a freighter in the background.
Didn’t look like the co-workers were hoping for a chance to jump on-board. Hoping not to get hit, rather.
Great presence of mind for that guy to dodge the cart then intercept it with the tug at literally the last possible instant.

That worker will stop celebrating when he gets billed for the damage to the vehicles he crashed.

Private jet ? Let this thing goes.
And that, gentlemen, is how it’s done.

What is going on in this vid? Is that Batman or Mickey mouse seated on the tarmac - has that person had a mishap or are they the perpetrator of this runaway-cart-on-a-mission-of-destruction? There is a backstory to this that needs to be explained - or imagined.

Good job,sir!
I hope the owner of the jet throws him a nice bonus.
It’s got Continental livery. I’m willing to bet that compression artifacts obviated the closed windows. You can see how the whole side of the plane looks like a single texture.
Autonomous vehicles: A case study.

That was a lot of canned beverages flying out of that thing.
“Sorry, sir, this flight is all out of beer. Would you like a tea?”
It looks like one of the workers was already injured unfortunately and is on the ground.

Free drinks? (Shaken, not stirred.)

I really hope the airport commends and promotes them for quick thinking and right action… Instead of firing them for damaging airport equipment.
Probably not a good idea to open any of those soda cans right away.
