Boy in Norway Rides Luggage Conveyor Belt
Edited on Tue Jul-27-04 12:07 PM by Richardo
Not just another "Ole and Ingvild" joke...They don't say what the x-ray machine revealed...but it's a great visual, innit?

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.

2. Proofreading note to the Kansas City Star: it's "rode", not "road"`

3. My Brother Did That Once
I don't think they went through x-ray scanners at the time though...
