Narrative:
On final approach to runway 9R in atl, a galley cart came loose and rolled all the way from the back into the cockpit. An uneventful landing was accomplished. No cockpit controls or instrumentation were damaged. Supplemental information from acn 378700: I would suggest maybe offsetting the stowage area so that the middle cart does not line up with the aisle.
