This is one expensive oopsie
 

doh
 

Lucky ramper didn't get himself sucked in.

Ouch! Ramper position opened up.

Is it a bag of trash or cone?

It was a cone. Now it's just trash scattered all over the ramp getting sucked into engines of planes taxing in and out of the alley.

Once again, you get what you pay for!

Ouch, A company I used to work for never started the APU and left #1 running until they plugged us in, then something like this happened and then we always started the APU before getting to the gate.

I guess and they found it cheaper to run the APU for 5 minutes than replace an engine. Not saying this was the case, quite possible the APU was deferred...

LOL, I had seen the pics, but not the video. Nice!

Before I left that place thats what they wanted us to do was leave the apu down and wait for ground power. I kinda figured its only a matter of time before something like this was gonna happen. Now how much have they saved?
