Well, my mom missed a connecting flight today, so I decided to share some videos from when I was sitting around at an airport in Thailand…
First, the retracting of the bridge when all the passengers are loaded:

The plane, unable to back up itself, gets pushed by a pushback tractor (I believe that’s the correct term).
The next plane comes along and the bridge slowly seals itself against the side.

Our luggage is loaded and soon we get to boarding to start the process all over again, for anyone still sitting there to watch.
