One day, at YYZ airport, a rampie was having a really bad day. She was trying to do her job, holding a pair of chocks as she walked around the planes. But little did she know, disaster was about to strike.
As she walked behind a 757, she was suddenly blown over by the force of the engine. It turns out that the number one engine was still idled, and she hadn’t noticed. In YYZ, the normal procedure is to shut down the number one engine first, but this rampie was clearly not following protocol.
She tried to get back up, but she just kept getting knocked over again. It was like a scene from a comedy sketch. Eventually, the engine was shut off and we ran over to make sure she was okay. It turns out she only had a few scrapes, but she was fine.
We all had a good laugh about it afterwards. I guess you could say that this rampie learned the hard way not to mess with idled engines.
