VIDEO: Runaway airport cart spirals out of control and nearly hits airplane
A driver did not appear to be behind the wheel as the video footage was taken. The cart nearly crashed into the nose of an airplane parked nearby before a vehicle being driven by an airport employee collided with the runway cart, bringing it to a stop.

It seems to me the cart should have a safety switch in the seat. If nobody is in the seat the cart will not operate. I have that in my riding lawnmower and I am nowhere near multi-million dollar aircraft. Cheap fix to prevent that from EVER happening again.
When has that EVER happened before? Oh ya , never!
they have angered the machine
Good job tackling the cart with another vehicle. Someone may be looking for a new job soon.
I'd expect the airline that owns that plane would be thankful for this guy stepping up and thinking outside the box. Probably saved some people from injury too.
I think the guy who saved the plane deserves recognition and reward. While others seemed helpless, he did a great job.

That seems like a very effective way to get run over, crushed, tossed, or some combination thereof.
Easy for you to say after the fact!
If you look at the video, it would be impossible to do as you say, due to the fact that there were two cabinet doors that flew open and anyone getting near would get struck by either one! Also, the cart was not making concentric circles which made approaching it very dangerous. I understand your logic, but not applicable here.
You'd have to be one cool dude to casually try and do what you described.

More of an ellipse. There was wobble so the center kept changing, as you can tell since the circle widened and changed.
