Man hitches a ride on luggage conveyor belt
Remember those fun merry-go-round rides you used to enjoy when you were a kid? An airport luggage conveyor is not the adult equivalent.
A man was arrested Thursday for being a big kid and jumping on the conveyor at Miami International Airport. Bradley Bromelow, 40, faces trespassing charges after he laid his 240-pound frame on the luggage conveyor belt and rode it behind the security wall. Airport personnel spotted the human body bag and quickly detained the man. When police arrived, Bromelow told them he did it to impress some friends, who were taping his luggage ride. According to his Facebook page, Bromelow lives in Atlanta so he must be visiting. His activities include "Trying to stay out of the doghouse."
Looks like he fell short on that one.
After a quick explanation to Bromelow that he weighed in over the baggage limit, cops put him in 'cuffs and hauled him away. And he didn't even have to pay a quarter for the ride to jail.
Enjoy your visit to the Magic City, human
40 yrs old? Does he still live with his parents?
well...are his friends impressed?
Who held his Beer?
If you’re going to get arrested, at least get arrested for doing something awesome.
Good question.
Last time I had beer in an airport, I missed my flight. it was a layover in chicago on way to cleveland.
I got off my plane, checked the terminal number and started walking. I saw terminal such and such and it was only one number less than the terminal of my flight. So I kept walking the same direction. But about 3 steps later, i spotted a little bar area. So I figured I’d sit down there for a few drinks and then finish walking to the next terminal afterwards. 2 hours later and only 15 minutes left I quit drinking and started walking again.
Guess what? the next terminal wasn’t there. I was at the end of the building. the next numerical terminal was clear on the other end of the entire freaking airport! I hoisted my carry bag up to my shoulder and started sprinting down the walkway dodging people like a quarterback running for it. but I missed the flight. and my luggage was on that plane.
That was 15 years ago. never drink in an airport.
I have no idea who held his ber, but if he FRmails me, I and some friends will buy him another beer.
A certain amount of irreverence is part of being American. While not a well thought out move, he still did show a refreshingly American attitude while in the alien habitat of those Fast Food Industry rejects commonly called TSA persons.
Nice try! Your busted. It's not like a QB, it's like O.J.
Not if you’re a husker fan. they run the option play and quarterbacks run with the ball.
Ideally, they’ll hand off to someone like Roger Craig or Tom Rathman...

Someone had a few rounds at the Airport bar.......
There are Florida Gators still trying to tackle Tommie Frazier.
Flight 2-0-9 now arriving gate 8- gate 9, gate 10...
Gate 13, gate 14, gate 15 . . .
Gate 23, 24, 25
They’ll never catch him.
says you.
The funny thing is that Tommie’s brother did play for the Gators.
Well, it was stupid, but can’t help but root for the guy a little bit. I’ve always wanted to do that. However, I have always been completely sober in the baggage claim area, and not remotely likely to try it for real.
