Obviously the container was empty or close to it but still.

#10 The cops may be there because it was an intentional act.

Some may have committed the crime of iFOD.

#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.

Is it my imagination or were they still waving the plane on? Did they attempt to take off this way? The video ended before anyone solved the problem.

I knew a girl that could do that. She was pretty popular with the guys too.

Yes, it did just jump into the engine. Look close and you can read “Al Qaeda Airlines” on the container.

Eidard: “Do we think the bloody box jumped up into the air on its own and tried to commit suicide by leaping into the engine?” Suicide? I think not. Just another case of immaculate convection.

#3, there’s video somewhere of a person getting sucked into a fighter jet intake. IIRC he survived.

#11, it’s tough to find FOD like those spare bolts and nuts when you have to walk around a darned baggage carrier.
