Jet engine sucks up a cargo container

A Japan Airlines flight preparing to depart Los Angeles was held up when one of the plane's engines sucked up a cargo container.
OM NOM NOM ... It was just hungry..




3AW listeners who were on board the flight provided images of the bizarre incident - see above.

No-one was injured as a result of the oddity, with all 245 passengers transported safely back to the terminal.

3AW Afternoons' Denis Walter spoke to Australian passenger Carol - stranded in LA armed only with a Southern Comfort - after the 1pm news today. Listen .http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/3aw-gen...sucks-up-a-cargo-container/20090512-b17u.html

 

I'm rather suprised it doesnt happen more often. Maybe it does over in the freight terminal.

freight : yet another example of I before E excpet after C being a myth.
