May 13, 2009: Hungry Plane
Many of you may have seen this on the news, but I thought it was worth saving here for posterity.

Quote:
A Japan Airlines jetliner preparing to depart Los Angeles has been grounded after one of the plane's jet engines apparently sucked up a cargo container.
Television footage showed the large object wedged into an engine as the plane sat on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport.
JAL Flight 61 had been leaving the gate at around 1.30pm (0630 AEST) when the unidentified object blocked one of the engines, according to Los Angeles World Airports, the agency which operates the airport.
