must have gone up fast - the loading guys are still standing/sitting right next to it........

I was wondering something similar. That would suggest a long WTF startle factor moment, or.......it's n to my job. In all major airports I've bene to those little tow buggy thingies all had fire-extinguishers on them/ I assume there low-loader also. If so I would expect the operators to have been trained to use them, but no-one seems to be 'jumping to it.' More training, Captain Mannering.
