Woman Goes Down Baggage Chute at Swedish Airport

I saw this on Yahoo and it made me laugh :D

An elderly woman misunderstood instructions while checking in at Sweden's main airport and was whisked down a baggage chute after she placed herself instead of her luggage on the belt, media reported Wednesday.

The 78-year-old woman, who was not named, was preparing to fly from Stockholm's Arlanda airport to Germany on Tuesday when she lay down on an unmanned baggage belt in the belief she was following check-in instructions, the Upsala Nya Tidning local daily reported on its website.

She was quickly swept off to the baggage handling centre, where staff members helped get her back on her feet.

The woman suffered no serious injury and caught her flight as planned.

HAHA! :D I ALWAYS wanted to do that - darn it! The old lady did it before me... imagine if I had done it first, then you lot would be reading about a looney Finnish teenage girl instead of an old lady :D

Maybe it is you Caro, remember i have described you as 'a really old mummy' before haven't i?

This is reallt funny though, i think the poor woman must have been embarrassed though, she should be happy it didn't finish her off though

I'm happy to inform you that I happen to have an alibi of my whereabouts during that rather eventful... thingymabob! xD
