Airport worker intercepts runaway cart in nick of time to save plane

This is the fault of some jackass that wrote “fragile: handle with care” on their package.

Nah, cart was already toast and the interception tool is heavy gauge steel, probably not even a scratch.

Yeah, load them on the plane for later.

Yep. It’s a United jet (which bought Continental), and the windows are visible in the (original?) video.

Saw a slightly longer version on @arthandler in IG. The woman on the ground may have been thrown out or jumped out, or was hit by the cart. Her colleague dragged her back and she got up. Then her legs buckled. Then we see her on the ground in the shorter version here. Hope she is not badly hurt. That case of wine almost escaped.

Yeah, that’s a heck of an if statement for AI to handle.

If dumb machine out of control, crash my intelligent machine self into it.

Late to the party, but here’s an item about the guy who saved the day; it also has a little more detail about the airplane and equipment involved:

Unlikely. Those usually use a separate terminal, and don’t use jetways. This looks like a small regional jet (but still an airliner that you can buy tickets on). Maybe a United EMB 145?

Edit: Almost got it, it was an Envoy (operating as American) EMB 145.
