VIDEO: Runaway airport cart spirals out of control and nearly hits airplane
A driver did not appear to be behind the wheel as the video footage was taken. The cart nearly crashed into the nose of an airplane parked nearby before a vehicle being driven by an airport employee collided with the runway cart, bringing it to a stop.

Will probably get a certificate of appreciation as a cover letter for his layoff notice for not following unwritten intervention procedures. . .
I take special note of how AA says that no AA employees were injured, but what about the ramp employee that clearly got injured and was dragged to safety by a colleague. Kudos to the Ramp Instructor's quick thinking with the Lektra AND kudos to the person who rescued their co-worker.
and can you imagine the look of the FO of the respective aircraft watching the event play out? Priceless.
As being directly connected to this event, I can tell you that a Ramp Instructor utilized the Lextro Pushout to stop the threat. We teach out employees not to endanger themselves and not be hero's. Metal can be replaced; employees cannot. The Ramp Instructor was recognized at a system wide level and an investigation has been started to determine direct cause or causes and establish procedure to prevent reoccurance

A worthy investigation and study
Given the $$$ of a collision with an aircraft (any aircraft) I'm thinking this guy should get a four figure bonus.
