I got a story about bad brakes. I used to service a 10K lift that one of the major air freight companys used to off load the next day air at the airport. I got a call to come check the brakes. When I got there, it was within a couple minutes of the plane's arrival. The forklift operator said to wait until he's done using it to work on it. We were about as close to the runway as you can get, and sure enough, right to the minute, the jet comes ripping down the runway, turns and come up to us. Everything is rush rush with this operation. The forklift operater goes to unload the big cargo container and bumps into the Boeing 727. That pilot came down those steps with a very serious look on his face, looked his plane over very carefully, got back in, was was out of there in a few minutes, off to the next stop.
