An airline worker plummeted several feet to the ground from an airplane … this after his coworkers inadvertently screwed him.
A ground staff member at the Jakarta airport in Indonesia is seen falling hard on the tarmac in this wild video making the rounds online … not realizing his fellow employees had moved the mobile ladder away.
The worker takes a big step backward out of the TransNusa Airlines Airbus A320, falling down onto the tarmac below — with papers scattering in the wind.
Local reports say the man suffered injuries … but none are said to be life-threatening. Authorities are reportedly investigating the incident. The fall in question allegedly violates aviation rules, which require the mobile ladder to remain in place until plane doors close.
The airline issued a statement … citing a miscommunication between the flight coordinator and the passenger boarding stairs officer as a cause for the accident. They confirmed the worker received medical treatment after the fall, sharing he’s in good condition.
TransNusa is a small airline headquartered in Jakarta. Founded in 2005, the airline notably ceased operations in 2020 due to the pandemic … picking business back up in 2022.
