Footage of a baggage handler loading suitcases onto a plane in what appears to be a rather forceful manner.

The video, purportedly filmed at Manchester Airport, shows the baggage handler launching luggage onto the plane in a way that arguably could lead to damage.

The video was filmed by a tourist who was travelling to Kefalonia, but he had sympathy with the handler, writing online: "The video has had a lot of attention from handlers who state that's the only way to operate given the time constraints that they have."

Although the video was filmed in 2012, it has only recently emerged online.

Clocked this on the way out of Manchester Airport on a flight to Kefalonia, was surprised to see how the baggage handlers launch the suitcases around. The video has had a lot of attention from handlers who state that's the only way to operate given the time constraints that they have. But it explains why baggage is often received damaged!
