Airport workers recover a diamond from a baggage carousel

Airport employees spent hours dismantling sections of a baggage carousel to recover a missing engagement diamond for a traveler who had given up hope.

Airport workers recover a diamond from a baggage carousel

When a traveler realized her engagement diamond had slipped from its setting somewhere near the baggage carousel, she assumed it was gone. Airport workers thought otherwise.

Over several hours the team partially dismantled the carousel, sifting through mechanical recesses where small objects tend to settle. The diamond was found and returned the same day.

Most lost-and-found stories like this never make it to the news. People who run airports quietly recover things every day.
