We’ve all done it, shown up late to the airport and tried to check in. The line is too long, and time is creeping by as you run up against the check-in deadline, and the airline’s app and kiosks won’t work for some reason. You need an agent’s help, and by the time you reach the front of the line it’s going to be too late.

A 27-year old drunk Russian man from Yalta City took a unique approach to an all-too common situation. He tried to get on his flight through the Moscow Sheremetyevo baggage system… and wound up getting lost, failing about, and even losing his shoe to into the conveyers.

He..is carrying his hand luggage when he tries to go the wrong way down another carousel, loses his footing, and falls over at an intersection.

He then desperately tries to rectify the mistake and crawl his way back up but only succeeds in losing a shoe.

The man’s bag snags on the handrail and he eventually frees it, resulting in him being swept down one carousel and taken for a ride until its final destination.

Eventually the man reached the point where bags are scanned, and airport security apprehended him This would be way better set to music.

According to Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs,

The duty manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation at Sheremetyevo Airport received a message that an unidentified man was on the luggage belt on the third floor of Terminal D, and entered the sorting room via the carousels on 28th July.”
