A viral video showing an airport baggage handler<\/a> tossing guitar cases roughly onto the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport is sparking outrage online and larger concerns about how airlines may be handling passengers’ belongings.<\/p>\n

The clip, reportedly filmed at Los Angeles International Airport, appears to show an airport worker roughly throwing multiple guitar cases from a luggage cart onto the ground.<\/p>\n

College student Nick Ruiz, 21, who filmed the incident, said he spotted the scene while walking through Terminal 4 after arriving from Los Angeles<\/a>, news agency Jam Press reported.<\/p>\n

“The whole situation felt wrong<\/a>,” Ruiz told the agency.<\/p>\n

He said he began recording his video out of concern for the instruments.<\/p>\n

Gary Leff, a Texas-based travel expert and author of the blog “View From the Wing,” did not personally observe the incident but watched the video<\/a>. He told Fox News Digital that while the video may appear shocking, this type of handling is not uncommon, in his experience.<\/p>\n

“Airlines usually say behavior like this is unacceptable when a video comes out, but it\u2019s actually fairly standard,” Leff said, expressing his point of view.<\/p>\n

He noted that checked baggage<\/a>, even when labeled “fragile,” is not always treated with the extra care some might expect.<\/p>\n

“Bags are designed to protect their contents,” he said, adding that flight passengers should avoid checking high-value or delicate items whenever possible.<\/p>\n

“Probably the number-one photo I see most often [on] social media about airlines is damaged bags,” he said.<\/p>\n

The video quickly gained traction on social media, with many viewers criticizing what they described as careless handling of expensive equipment.<\/p>\n

“Absolutely disgraceful,” one user wrote on TikTok.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s the fact that it takes the same amount of effort or less to place them down calmly,” another user wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many commenters shared similar frustrations, highlighting both the financial loss and emotional impact.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s easily $3,000 of equipment, by the way,” a commenter wrote.<\/p>\n

“As a musician, this breaks my heart,” another user noted.<\/p>\n

Others said the clip helps explain why luggage and fragile items often arrive damaged<\/a> after flights.<\/p>\n

Airlines are required to accommodate musical instruments either as checked baggage or carry-on items, depending on size and space availability, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n

For larger instruments that cannot fit in overhead bins, some airlines allow passengers to purchase an additional seat to keep the item with them in the cabin.<\/p>\n

The department recommends that travelers who check their instrument mark the case as “fragile”<\/a> even if in an instrument-shaped case.<\/p>\n
