Hotel porter walks straight into ‘invisible’ swimming pool with guests’ luggage

A hotel porter accidentally fell into a swimming pool whilst carrying guests’ luggage.

CCTV footage shows the moment the staff member walks across the rain-soaked carpark straight towards the pool, unaware that he is about to take an unintentional dip on 21 May.

The worker plunged straight into the water, all while carrying two large suitcases.

People soon rushed out to help the soaked porter, pulling him - and the luggage - out of the pool at Yangshuo County hotel, near Guilin, China.
