It's just amazing that they all scamper and run away. Complete and utter garbage replacing the hard working career folks who loved aviation and were passionate about about the job. Disgusting. . .

What he said! Actually some of the hardest working aviation ground workers are down in Mexico, they take their job very seriously, and most are big fans of aviation.

Us airways, operated by republic flying as American Eagle?

Agreed+++

Replacing that cone is going to be expensive.:D

It looks like the engine was spooled up but there's NO rotation beacon until a split second prior to the FOD damage. That guy's lucky to be alive!!

Low blow, there. I would "scamper" too! I also love aviation and am passionate about my job.

this is most likely pulling into the gate after landing (that's why they're putting the cones there). i'm sure the beacon was on the whole time.

The beacon was on the whole time...

To each their own. I would have got the crew's attention and signaled to shut down one. Then I would have explained myself and owned my actions.

who calls it a rotation beacon?

my checklist says red beacon, must be a holdover from the old days when they actually rotated.
