Read our privacy policy A baggage handler has gone viral for a “satisfying” time-lapse video of the cargo loading process, showing how more than 100 bags get packed into the belly of a plane. “Casually stocking 104 bags”, Mr Simonsson captioned the video, which shows him doing push-ups before carefully cramming the dozens of cases into a tight, half-cylinder space in the bottom of the aircraft. In an earlier video, he garnered 7.7 million views for showing “How 110 bags look inside the belly of a plane”, another time-lapse creation showing bags flowing down a conveyor belt to reach him inside the aircraft cavity, before he packs them in in neat piles. “My guy’s just playing horizontal Tetris,” joked a user named Kit Kat, while another said “Paid to play tetris,” alluding to the same 1980s cube-stacking video game.
