Boy in Norway Rides Luggage Conveyor Belt

[Fly2e]

OSLO, Norway - A four-year-old boy caused chaos at a Norwegian airport this week when he crawled on a luggage conveyor belt and road it like it was a merry-go-round.

Ingvild Aakervik was checking in at the Vigra airport near the western town of Aalesund Monday, when her four-year-old son Ole Tobias wandered off by himself.

Unnoticed by airport staff or passengers he managed to crawl onto a luggage carousel next to an unmanned check-in counter.

Surrounded by bags and suitcases, the boy rode the entire length of the belt, passing through an X-ray scanner in the process.

The ride came to a sudden end when staffers saw the youngster on the carousel and stopped it by pressing an alarm button.

"It was just a moment of inattention and Ole Tobias disappeared," Aakervik told state NRK radio. "I panicked and made the entire airport search for him."

The four-year-old wasn't hurt and his mother said he seemed to enjoy the ride.

Operations manager Bent Helge Sjursen said security procedures at the airport would be reviewed to ensure it doesn't happen again.

You would think that he would be noticed sooner!

He's very lucky he wasn't hurt! His fingers could so easily have been mangled not to mention being knocked off, hit by a heavy case from a shoot, etc ..

When you are a parent - you think very protectively!  ;)

Obviously the parent sees this as "cute or funny"  >:(

Has really nothing to do with "security procedures", it was the lack of responsibility of the parent that allowed this to happen.
Maybe "to ensure it  doesn't happen again" a hefty fine should be given to the parent of this child!!! But that probably already happened since the boy passed through the X-ray and will now probably never have children, Thanks Mom

Gee...  Perhaps we should all have a go at this...
