Toddler Rescued After Getting On Airport Baggage Conveyor Belt At Newark Airport

A two-year-old gave airport workers quite the scare at Newark Liberty International Airport.

The toddler somehow managed to climb onto a baggage conveyor belt at the Jet Blue counter on the departures level on Wednesday (May 28) and rode it all the way to the baggage room on the lower level. Officers eventually found the child, who was thankfully not hurt.

Keith Jeffries, vice president for K2 Security Screening Group, said:

“It’s extremely dangerous. You’ve got diverters back there that are actually these gigantic pushers or levers, if you will, that will shove those bags down the appropriate conveyor belt, and that alone can be fatal for a small child.”
