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.




You know how when an airline loses your luggage you find yourself saying, "how could they lose it? It has to be somewhere." Well...
Hmmm... just when I was starting to think my fear of checking bags was a tad irrational.
