If you've traveled to an airport in the Midwest you've likely noticed the signs outside the bathrooms that say "Emergency Tornado Shelter." These three TSA agents smartly heed that advice and escape into a bathroom just seconds before debris is sent down the hall.

They work. No one died or was horribly injured.
