Passengers on an airline hear pounding and screams coming from deep within the plane.
But it's not science fiction.
Authorities say a baggage handler was trapped inside the cargo hold of a US Airways plane preparing for take-off.
The New York Times reports the ground worker was inside the cargo compartment, when another worker at Washington's Reagan National Airport evidently closed the door.
The co-pilot told the ground crew to check and the worker was freed unharmed.
The flight went onto Hartford, Conn.
