At an airport in Lagos, Nigeria, people are gathered on the tarmac, buzzing with activity.

A closer look reveals a conveyor belt vehicle used for loading and unloading luggage pressed directly against the fuselage of a passenger plane.

The baggage handling vehicle collided with the aircraft.

Fortunately, the accident occurred just after the plane had fully landed and all passengers had disembarked, so there were no passenger injuries.

However, the impact caused significant damage to the aircraft's engine, leaving the plane unable to operate.
