18 sent to hospital after mobile lounge crashes at Washington Dulles International Airport

I'm shocked, but also kinda unsurprised? Like, shouldn't we be expecting these kinds of accidents to happen with all the traffic they have at that airport? But on the other hand, 18 people hurt is still crazy and I hope everyone's doing okay... or so I think . I mean, it's good that no one was seriously injured, but what about the passengers who could've gotten stuck in there for ages? And yeah, the airport's still open, which is weird considering how major this incident is... unless they have some super cool safety protocols we don't know about yet? Or maybe it's just standard procedure for these mobile lounges to be a bit dodgy . Anyways, gotta give 'em credit for getting everyone out safely and treating them ASAP . Just wish something could be done to prevent accidents like this from happening again in the future...

OMG, what's going on with these mobile lounges?? Like, I get it they're convenient and all but can't we make sure they're safe first? 18 people hurt, that's crazy! And the fact that they just opened up without proper testing or maybe even a trial period... I don't know, man. It just seems like too many risks for something that's supposed to be an easy way in/out of airports.

And I'm not saying the airport is at fault or anything, but come on, how could this happen? The fact that they still managed to keep everything under control and only had minor injuries is a blessing, but like... what if it was worse? What if there were more serious injuries or even fatalities?

I guess what I'm saying is, we need to be more mindful of safety when it comes to these new-fangled airport systems. Can't we just take the time to get it right before we roll them out to the public?

omg what a crazy situation !! i mean 18 people hurt but thankfully not life threatening lol how can u plan for that tho? these mobile lounges r everywhere now days & accidents happen but seriously when was the last time airport staff got proper training on handling emergencies? shouldn't they be like "ok we've got this" instead of freaking out & causing more damage at least no one died i guess that's what matters most
