A TODDLER has escaped an airport accident with minor injuries after becoming stuck on a baggage conveyor belt. The two-year-old girl became separated from her parents in the check-in hall of Terminal 2 of Manchester Airport after she crawled under a check-in desk.

However, she was found in the first of three tiers of the baggage system and taken to Wythenshawe Hospital with cuts and bruises.

Good to hear Micky is OK.(sorry mate)
Its a strange world.The Coop/CIS remove the resident maintenance staff from the Cis Building, gives a pep talk to the outside contractors of saving the company £2 million a year.And shortly afterwards a visitor to the building falls down the lift shaft. Not a contractor working on the lift. Once again penny pinching can have dire consequences.
