Yes, they are containers. And some containers have casters. Do these? The resolution on my screen isn't good enough to tell. Sorry.
When an ABX container with wheels rolled into one of our aircraft some 20 years ago, it was ABX that paid for the repairs. That impact was caused by the container rolling down a sloping ramp, not wind. I, having never attended law school, was simply wondering if it would legally be an act of your God smiting a sinful Citation, or if the container wranglers would be faulted for failing to corral the strays.

When a microburst or tornado picks up containers and blows them across the ramp, it's not really a failing to "corral them." One could sue the storm, however.
Or the pilot that elected to land during said storm. How 'bout them apples?
