POV: You're a bag that was just checked at the airport

- Опубликовано: 20 мар 2024
- Ever wonder what happens to your checked luggage after your drop it off at the airport? We went behind the scenes at Detroit Metro Airport to show you the journey of a bag.
I like how the whole ride is lit so the bag doesn't get scared in the dark.
Except at 2:53 to 2:57.
ITS LIT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😩😩😩😩
Imagine being locked inside the bag, bound and silenced, like in some agent stories... :)
@@louise_rosengl this would be fun to ride on, I’ll Take it
@@KermitdaToad You'll take the full body X-Ray as well then? :p
There's a lack of toys trying to rescue Woody in this video. 😂
When I was younger, I used to think of Toy Story 2 every time I saw a bag conveyer belt, but now I think of Die Hard 2.
My thoughts exactly
I love that movie, it was so funny
What is the difference between Woody from Toy Story and a Priest? Woody goes flaccid when a child walks in.
Lol
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.
Yeah, that’d be freaking GENIUS! Too bad no one will ever do that though. “It doesn’t meet safety requirements/regulations/code, so we can’t do it.” I can hear it now.
Use your brown star as a QR code
@@kansascityshuffle8526haha 😂
They're called legs.
Given how often bags get lost this sounds like a bad idea, next thing you know your trip to Disneyworld is now a trip to Cleveland
3:35 awe he got separated from his buddy
Now he most go on this journey alone
loll exact same thought went through my mind
'Access denied' ✋✋😡
This comment is the reason I watched this video 😂
It was trying to overtake it forever and it decided to pit. DRS wasn't powerful enough on the straights. Came out in clear air. Good move suitcase #7289
It’s like losing a friend in a movie but better (ig)
Humans at airport: This line takes so long, and the flight's delayed again!
Baggage at airport: Slide belt go weeeeeee!!!!!!
😂😂
Those doors that change the bags direction at the last second remind me of my life.
Sorry bro, hope things get better for you
High speed diverters they're called...they are one of the less dramatic means of changing the bag route. Search for "pushers" and you'll see what I mean.
Junk jump-scared me, hope things turn for the better for you bro.
I don't get it.
Before/After 2020 POV
Never in my life would I ever imagine a news channel saying POV
My thoughts exactly
And they actually used it correctly for once
POV is a very old expression that's been used since long before any of us were born. This specific way of phrasing it "POV: you're an X doing Y" is pretty new; but it's also already cliche to the point of being annoying.
"How ya doin' fellow kids?"
You just made me think of the funny crab man from Pennslyvania
They obviously skipped the bit where it's kicked, thrown and rumaged thru by members of ground staff🤔
Yeah, that’s reserved for our bags. 😂
That's what happens on Amtrak. They don't even hide it. The woman spun around and hurled it like a whatchamathingy thrower
I think we were just getting to that part.
Meanwhile the one time I forgot a battery powered Razor in my checked bag I expected problems... Just to see it get loaded onto the plane no issue
You forgot baggage basketball!
I can’t believe I just watched a 7 minute video of a bag travelling uncountable belts from checkin almost to the plane
I played it at 4x speed. A lot more fun.
I do everyday
@@tpmarkham Oooh...Thanks for the tip! 💵😁👍
Well I’m guessing that’ll be a first and last time for us and so many others. Quite interesting, something many have never seen and probably never will. I feel honoured and um 🤔, glad it’s over lol
same
That was almost as exhausting as walking to the gate.
That was my first thought!
I think it was fun, kind of a ride.
Airport fun, walk to gate fun
no literally
More like running to your gate after you find out they switched the gate from 31 to 52 😂
Nope, YOU’RE turning left.
WHACK!
Finally a video titled “POV” that actually displays what POV means
Sorry for disappointing those who said the bag didn't get on the plane. That's not the purpose of this video. This video is for showing how your bag got lost.
I don’t think we care what the purpose of the video was. It sucks and the title mentions nothing of the sort. Click bait Detroit.
The stated purpose of the video was "to show you the journey of a bag." Don't the vast majority of those journey's end up in a plane?
Yeah I had that issue. I was returning back from India with family with about 8 bags which 5 of them got lost. But after few days it was delivered to my house. But most of the snacks and food in those bags had gone bad.
They should add little cutouts of Dutch children and play the It’s a Small World song so my luggage could be entertained.
Underrated comment
Lol
Hey cool.😀
LOL, you beat me to it!
You just won the Internet with that comment!
Watching this a 2x speed is like watching Space Mountain with the lights on.
hahah you're right
Watching again!! 😂👍🏻👍🏻
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!
Never happened to me
Now I’m not so surprised why bags get lost 😂
If this is reason bags get lost they should have a better way of shorting them
Im surprised that more bags are not lost
Considering the number of bags that go through systems like this at every airport around the world daily, it is surprising that so few bags are lost!! Which is why, even on international trips of a month, I use a single carry-on bag!
@@someasiandude4797 building the bags out of metal would probably work
The only time my luggage got lost was when an 8 year old kid grabbed it by mistake and hid it in his closet out of shame. When his Mom found it the family brought it back to the airport and I got it delivered to my house the next day.
So there’s an entire Amazon warehouse distribution hub underneath every airport. Interesting.
Yeah, just like every other package delivery service
This is why they want you at the airport two hours before takeoff. lol
This is why I’d rather just get on an amtrak
Ohhh…
2hrs are for international,domestic needs only 1 hr I think
@@MadhavanWasTaken imo, international 4 hrs (if ur going out of continent) and 2 hrs for domestic
Toy story 2 made me think that the luggage check was going to more complicated than this
Can't help but think of all the people waiting to find their luggage because of all the tags stuck to the "flaps" as bags pass through.
Judging by all the bag tags stuck to the rubber flappers, I know how luggage fails to arrive at destination.
Every bag needs an RFId tag glued to it; they can scan and reprogram it every time so they wont need the sticker as they come off easily. They should make it standard from bag factories. Also tracking becomes easier.
@@RenanMsV_YT I've flown only twice by now (I'm Dutch) but the tags I got sure as hell were sturdy motherf'ers... Can't remember how I managed to remove it once I got to my destination, but it wasn't easy, that's something I do remember.
RFID sounds nice, but become a problem (well, financially that is) when speed and reading distance is involved: reading takes time, reprogramming takes more time and doing both from considerable distance (you'll will need to be to do this without having to turn a suitcase around a number of times to get the tag within reader-distance). And as you want to keep the ordinary person from messing the tags' contents, it should be a secure tag, automatically lengthening the time to read/reprogram the thing.
And even than, an RFID tag can get lost as well. Only insertion into the suitcase (thus requiring destructive force to remove it) would keep it from detaching from the object it is meant to identify.
After all of that the poor thing still isn’t on the plane…
ofc they have to retrieve the camera
Lithium batteries like are used in this camera are not allowed in the bin. Basically, it would have gotten stacked in a cart with other bags going on the same flight then later driven out to the plane, put on a belt loader like you see from the gate, then some guys in the bin throw it to the end and stack it with the probably 150 other bags going on that southwest flight. What probably happened is it was a planned thing the airline knee about and they sent someone to grab that one bag and do whatever that last part was.
@shuttleman27c Yeah, that's true, but also that would eat up a lot of storage on the camera as well
@@shuttleman27c interesting!
The bag got arrested for smuggling cocaine. Now it is doing time in a evidence locker cause it would not talk.
I thought the bag we were following was supposed to end up in a planes hull?
I think it got flagged by the system to be inspected by TSA. That, and/or probably on purpose to retrieve the suitcase with all the camera crew waiting.
Instead it ended up with the TSA and was never seen again...
Uh oh
It's loaded into the crates on the carts visible at 4:51. Those crates are then loaded onto the plane. Not much to see when you're in a crate...
They don’t ride a conveyer belt all the way to the plane, they get loaded by hand on to luggage carts and then the carts are driven to the aircraft and the luggage is loaded by employees.
No wonder they don't want you to check bags at the last minute, it takes forever to get there.
5:22 I cant believe they take a picture during the ride and don't even sell it to you once you reach the end!
😆
As a bag community we appreciate the awareness
Bag lives matter
Now that it’s there for TSA inspection, you can expect your camera to be dismantled and scattered in 100 pieces throughout the bag.
Or just stolen by one of the TSA people.
@@CaptainColdyron222 Every search table has a camera trained on it. Reason being A. for people like you who state XYZ was stolen from my bag by TSA so an investigation can be launched and B. if the bag blows up, they can watch it as the TSA Officer gets turned into pink mist and dissect the video frame by frame to learn about the explosive device within (cross reference from review of the image on the search table system).
This is basically an enclosed water ride for bags. You know, where you're in a big floating raft or log and it goes through a building with all kinds of themed displays?
You know, that’s actually true
You missed the part where TSA rips me open.
This would make a cool amusement park ride. Too bad they don't show the plane in the end.
Yeah, a Toy Story themed ride at Disney World.
They forgot the part where they fling your bags allover, break the wheels and handle, or the leave bag on the tarmac in a puddle before loading it on to the plane. Finally when you try to file a claim you are told they don’t cover wheels and handles.
Your bag is broken cause of that.
That never happened to you.
@@Mr21scottYou don’t know that.
The owner was headed for NYC but the bag had other ideas and is now enjoying a cocktail on a beach in Thailand. Bag lives matter.
🤣🤣
Met that bag one day. He was pretty chill, ate some noodles with him.
One of the bags was headed to Japan where a toy collector was gonna sell them at the museum but they left
We need a human version of this at airport. Just sit in the seat, scan your boarding pass, then whizz off to your terminal/gate via TSA.
What, and have you miss out on all the lovely things to buy on the way to your gate... No chance....
You'd want to hope that it sends you to the right plane......
it’s a video but i was still scared to go through the xray machine
It’s just darkness in there for the most part, as you see in the video. Nothing too scary. You still wouldn’t want to be in there with the radiation, though. That’s what those yellow stickers are saying.
Awww this makes total sense now, no wonder my bag never makes my flight- it never sees the plane.
Who else was disappointed they didn’t see what Toy Story made us believe happened?
no matter where it goes, there's always an army of TSA ready to destroy the bag at any moment
This video was super interesting for me. I enjoyed watching how the luggage gets separated to the left and right then travels all the way down. Ahhh so this is how our luggage gets handled with a few bumps and scrapes along the way😃👍🏽🎉
What has my life come to that I just watched the pov of a bag.
There's another video of something like this in Dubai. That one is really a trip. Checked baggage gets to have all the fun, as us passengers get treated like cattle headed to slaughter in the terminals/planes.
🤣😂😂
I'm not sure which Dubai airport you're talking about, but the one where I had a 2-hour layover recently was clean, quiet, had a great selection of food & drink, and I had plenty of time to take a shower before then calmly walking straight onto the plane.
There showing nice things to the luggage because the news are recording but if it was someone else recording the luggage would be destroyed, damaged, and stolen
Feels like a roller coaster ride 😅
The separate bag fee is making a little more sense. Imagine the cost of all this, not to mention the upkeep and salaries.
Except that this system has been in place for a LONG time, and the bag fee is relatively new, comparatively.
Zero to do with bag fees, bag fees are a money grab from airlines.
The ASYNC’s storage solution is a perfect use case as a cheaper alternative. A threshold could be at the counter, and the other end at the cart loading area. Or maybe at the arrival destination.
This does seem like an overly complex process. It wouldn't be that difficult to just take our bags with us to the gate and dump them down a chute when it's time to board.
@@ISpitHotFiyaa straight facts
I love how they roll out so slowly and gently when in public view, but then once in the tunnel and out of sight, they crank up the speed and your luggage is slamming against the walls on the curves.
Finally, someone who knows how to use "POV" correctly!
A news video that's actually entertaining for once! Woo Detroit!
Darn it. Wanted to see the savage baggage handlers chucking the bag into the plane! LOL Seriously, this was a fascinating look at how modern airport baggage handling is done. Thanks for sharing. ;)
Buzz: “Once we go through we just need to find that case.”
This reminds me of this VR thing at an airport in Korea. I was there a few years back, I believe it was Incheon Airport. They have a seat that you sit in and a VR headset you put on and you basically get thrown around like luggage 😂
Next time can you film it in 360° so I can immerse myself in VR and become one with the bag
And here I am hoping I see something similar to Toy Story 😭 childhood crushed
So, THAT'S how they lose our luggage!
If this was an attraction at Disney I would totally ride it!
Crazy how that system works!
You missed the part where the handlers throw it into the air when loading the cargo hold, after cutting it on a side to see if them can steal an iPad or some other valuables 😎
The handlers were surprising gentle. They didn't just kick and throw the luggage around like they're rumoured to do.
Out of the decades I've been flying, I never even considered the behind the scenes with baggage! Very cool! Thanks!!
I got that Toy Story 2 vibe in me 💀
These cases have the best roller coasters
watching at 2x and i've never seen this mario kart course before
Some systems are longer that’s why it’s important to check in on-time
4:00 driving on the interstate be like
Well that was a fun ride.
This is incredible. Thank you so much to the people who worked on this. I've never seen anything quite like it.
Legend has it that bag is still on those conveyor belts to this day
Charlie and the TSA
Toy Story LIED to us 😂
Very cool! Thanks!
thank u for this video ive always imagined as a little gal what it would be like as a check in bag this feels like a dream come true
They are having fun actually, while we wait for them...
Gee, I was looking forward to watching the buff guys handle it!!😊
Yhat should've been an amusement park ride 😮
It looks like bags have a funner time at the airport than people do.
Im clicking in the video until i realize this is a news channel.
You should see the control system behind the belt system. I worked on both portland or and chicago ohare
Great job channel 4! Good educational content for the curious viewer. And no commentary needed!
It feels way better watching in 2x it feels like go-kart riding😂😂
The look on the cameraman’s face at the end when he realized there was a camera on the bag
Yes. I expected more.
missed the part when the TSA rips open the bag, opening every bag of chips, destroying your rubik's cube and stealing cash
At least it gave me some idea of what’s going on with my luggage when I’m boarding on the plane. Thanks Channel 4!! Keep it up!!
the absolute zen of feeling like a bag that was just checked at the airport
Wow what a ride! 😊
You left out the part where the airline employees and the TSA guys open up the bag and steal everything that’s valuable.
This is great to see. Not gonna watch such things all day. But great to have seen once.
Friend : What are you watching ??
Me : A 7 minute video of a bag moving around
Interesting for sure! Next time show it all the way to the airplane please😀
Better to be a bag and avoid getting fondled by TSA
Why the cut at 5:08, should've shown the whole process of that dude lifting up the suitcase and getting it onto the other conveyor belt
what humans see: conveyer belt
what bags see: ROLLER COASTER!
Back in 1990 (when I was 19, immortal & impulsive) I worked at a ticket counter in a large airport. I really wanted to see what happened to the suitcases once they disappeared behind the luggage belt flap. We had these heavy duty plastic bins that were used to put differently-shaped miscellaneous checked items in, so they could make it down the luggage belt safely. One morning after a flight, when we were done straightening up the ticket counter, I sat in a tub and went down. Another coworker had done it before so I knew it could be done. It was a fun ride, certainly a lot quicker than walking an animal in a kennel down there. Employees could probably never get away with that now, especially with all the extra security after 9/11. I also sat on the belt for the carry-on luggage X-ray machine once, went in just enough so I could twist around and see my legs on the screen. It was late at night, the last flight had all its passengers and the employees in the screening area were waiting for us to let them know they could shut down. Ask a stupid question to the right set of people at the right time, and you can get up to all sorts of mischief. At least, you used to be able to.
That sounds awesome haha
A long and tortuous journey and still never made it to the plane.
Camera bro at the end dressed like a hotdog 🌭 😂
Better watched at 2x speed, can really see how much the conveyor speeds up
Where’s the bit where the ground staff throw the bag 💼 onto the floor and kick it?
You're telling me Pixar lied to me and theres not a bunch of toys running around?
The title made me think I was about to watch an Allstate insurance commercial lol. 😂
Quite a celebrity piece of luggage, with all those paparazzis and cameras, there....
This video needs the song Powerhouse by Raymond Scott. Its the one you hear in old Looney Tunes cartoons whenever there is a factory or heavy machinery.
They want RAW audio
You forgot the part where TSA steals your valuables and blames you for the loss.
Exactly.......👍
And then they take it home for themselves. They literally steal anything they want.
What does TSA stand for?
