Suggestion box idea #1 Baggage Handlers enhancement

For added realism, could you make the baggage handlers drop, throw and crush luggage? Especially in cold or rainy conditions? It doesn't need to happen all of the time at every airport and every piece of luggage, just randomly.

One of my favorites happened several years ago when I used to work the ramp for Northwest Airlines.  We watched a US Air baggage handler on his way to drop off arrival bags at the claim area.  He ran over a soft-side suitcase on the tarmac with the tug, and not only did he NOT stop, he ran over the bag with the four baggage carts he was towing behind him.  We went over to look at it and thankfully it had a US Air bag tag on it.  The thing literally exploded.  We went back to the terminal and brought one of their CSA's out to get it.  Told him to bring a shovel and a trash bag.  He checked the arrival tag and it turns out he had just taken a lost bag claim for this suitcase.   ;D   He decided to walk back to the terminal mumbling something about just paying the claim and not telling the passenger what happened to his bag.  Needed the shovel to scoop up the remains of what appeared to be a very expensive camera......
