Luggage Container Sucked into Airplane Engine at LAX

luggage_container.gif Whoa! A luggage container was "drawn" into an engine of a Japan Airlines jet as it pushed from its gate at LAX at approximately 1:30 p.m. The plane was immediately grounded and the 245 passengers safely departed back into the terminal as authorities investigated what-at-the-time was an unknown object. The type of luggage container involved was not immediately identified, but an example of one type is shown here.

Hmmm... just when I was starting to think my fear of checking bags was a tad irrational.
