POV Video of Checked Bag's Journey Through Airport

The inner workings of airport baggage procedures are one of the great mysteries of our time.

Especially because they so often end with a bag somewhere besides in their rightful owner’s possession.

But Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport decided to pull back the curtain and shed a little transparency on things earlier this month by producing an interactive 360-degree video documenting one brave suitcase’s journey from check-in to what we assume is its final destination.

First question: Why hasn’t an amusement park made one of these for people yet?

Second question: What the hell is this terrifying mecha-robot arm thing at the end? That’s the final boss, right?

Third question: No wonder you lose my bags.

Yeah, we’re aware that wasn’t actually a question.

Now go enjoy the holiday weekend — your bag certainly will.
