A quick-thinking airport employee averted a bad accident when a catering cart spun out of control on the tarmac of Chicago's O’Hare International Airport. The dramatic incident was caught on video by a passenger inside the terminal.

Ground crew members leaped aside as the cart careered around and around. An employee was knocked to the ground and pulled to safety by another worker. Suddenly, as seen in the video, a man ran up from behind the others and snuck past the spinning cart by narrowly jumping between it and the plane. He then disappeared out of frame for a moment, during which time he appeared to start up a forklift vehicle.

The force of the crash toppled the cart onto its side and sent bottles and other items flying, but the plane was unharmed and it appeared there were no injuries.
