I’ve got to say that ticket counter is more robust than I would’ve guessed.

When I first saw that camera angle, I thought he had crashed through a door. Then I saw him fly through the wall and over the baggage carousel. Damn. He was hauling ass.

This is what happens when you ban curbside pickup.

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only....

I’ve been close to becoming road pizza a few times, but thankfully nothing too close . I now always leave my office with a reflective coat, plus an extra in my truck.   It blows my mind how poorly people drive as soon as they hit airport property.

And not just on the roadways, on the ramp and VSRs too.

About 3 months ago, at about the same time at night which was shortly after midnight we were at that exact place picking up the keys to the Hyundai Santa Fe we were renting.

I wonder why the architect chose to extend the entryway wall to form the counter end wall out of pou red concrete......

Probably because it was right next to the door. Except they weren’t  expecting people to be driving into the building through the opposite wall.

Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

They should use this in their advertising.

Wish we could tell how early he started to brake, but for what it’s worth, the CHMSL looks to be lit when he hits the counter.

That brief shot from outside the building makes it look like he was all in.

Its pretty common for vehicles to put the brakes on when the airbags deploy. I’m guessing that’s the case here.

Is it common for them to automatically illuminate the brake lamps as well? I’m guessing that the ABS motor is what sends pressure to the brake calipers in such an event? B ut the brake lamps are typically activated by a brake pedal switch... I do recall seeing some crash videos where the hazard lamps start flashing immediately after impact, but I dunno about brake lights.
