Turbulence at Qantas MEL Check-In

[levelnine]

Seen on social media today. Impressive!

Wow, that would have caused a lot of angst.

Not quite how the valet service works!

 

[Happy Dude]

Presumably someone castigated the driver for using their phone whilst driving?

What’s the bet it’s an Uber

 

[Sprucegoose]

I'm impressed. i understand the angst with Melbourne. one of the worst run airports globally.

Some people are just no good at parallel parking

 

[woodborer]

What on earth happened?

"Oh we never guarantee we'll return your car right way up"

 

[Freq Flier 2013]

Wow, looks like a lot of effort to save on parking costs.

Got caught up in this while taking my wife to the airport on Sunday morning. On her way into the terminal she walked past the driver being questioned by police - it seems they were texting while driving. I'm still not quite sure how you can end up with the car like that though! Perhaps the kerb was involved.
Added a few minutes on to the drop off, as they had to divert everyone through the pick up areas, which is then a decent and awkward walk to the checkin areas if you have a few suitcases.

No one was hurt, apparently.

Someone posted this in the Reddit thread, and wow, doesn't take much to flip a car at low speed.

Texting and driving while holding on to her coffee, after dropping someone off.

To quote Flying High - There is no stopping in a red zone. Female PA Announcer : The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone. Male PA Announcer : The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.

Rear-wheel drive, front wheel stalls, all that momentum goes up instead of forwards!
