The cart narrowly missed numerous employees standing in the area before Manalang, an Envoy ramp instructor, "jumped onto a push-back tug and intercepted the cart at just the right moment, flipping it over and out of harm's way."
Interesting how many employees stayed so close and watched it but note that one person pulled another worker (injured maybe) away from the cart and under the wing. Wonder how much fuel was in the wings??? Maybe not a hero but the cart could have changed it's mind and things ended up a lot worse. I'd say the cart is a candidate for Denver's baggage handling system....
