IF you’ve ever wondered why your suitcases get battered after a single plane ride, this shocking video could give you a clue.

A baggage handler was caught “carelessly throwing” luggage out of the plane at Los Angeles International Airport.

Alaska Airlines is investigating the footage, which is believed to have been filmed on May 16, after it was shared on social media.

The video shows the worker chucking luggage from the plane onto a cart below.

At least two of the bags bounce off the cart and go flying onto the tarmac.

Witness Raz Davidov, who captured the footage, shared the video on Twitter.

“Taken place at LAX, Los Angeles International Airport, one of the Alaska Airlines workers was carelessly throwing luggage out of the plane,” he tweeted.

“This is unacceptable!”

In a statement to Fox News, Alaska Airlines said that the man handling the luggage was a contract vendor and would not be allowed to work for the airline again.

“The video is extremely concerning. The contract vendor clearly violated our policies,” the statement read.

“We expect all employees to treat the luggage and cargo of our guests as they would their own. We apologize to our guests whose baggage was handled so recklessly.”
