Footage of the incident was posted to Facebook, where dozens of crabs can be seen climbing over top of people's suitcases. Some even managed to find their way onto the floor and were "making a break for it." As the camera pans over the scene, a man appears to be quickly attempting to stuff the crabs back into the cooler from which they escaped.

“Oh my goodness!” one person can be heard shrieking in the video.

“So, while waiting on my bag at LPIA this afternoon, someone’s cooler of crabs popped open on the conveyor belt and they made a run for it,” Lionel Bonimy wrote on Facebook alongside the video. “Bahamians may love to eat crab, but we all sure ain’t trying to catch them!”
