As others said, there is a lot of luggage, going through.
my own bag got lost once, and they couldn‘t find it for two weeks, like they actually didn‘t have a clue where it could be. and it fell to the side of a conveyor belt in JNB, and they never cared to check there. once they found it, they messaged me and put it on the next flight, and i got it back!
my dad also lost a bag once, but that one was found, they said they will send to him, and then they said it arrived in south korea (he was in nigeria for work, so not even in asia), then they said they‘re gonna send it again, and it arrived in new york. he never got any updates after that, and now always travels with his toothbrush and a set of fresh underwear in his bagpack 🙂

Everyone is wearing ear buds and either talking to their spouse/ SO or grooving to their tunes and not paying attention to their job. Which plane did this trolley full of luggage come off of? I’ll just put it over here…
