A Japan Airlines flight has been grounded at Los Angeles airport after a large object was sucked into one of the plane’s engines, officials say.
They say the incident happened as JAL flight 62 was leaving one of the airport’s gates.
Television footage showed the object – believed to be a cargo container – wedged into the engine.
All 245 passengers on board were taken off the plane and escorted to the terminal. No injuries were reported.
I love the last thing these articles always say – “An investigation is under way”.
No kidding. Do we think the bloody box jumped up into the air on its own and tried to commit suicide by leaping into the engine?
#19 – Mr. Fusion,
I think I wouldn’t want quite that much suction. This goes way beyond the old golf ball through thirty yards of garden hose joke.
Opps, did I do that?
It was a cargo container of Canadian Geese.
#10 The cops may be there because it was an intentional act.
Some may have committed the crime of iFOD.
#15 for the win
Obviously the container was empty or close to it but still.
