Default Container gets sucked into engine (video)

Not sure if this was posted already.

The video states its a 787 but I'm not positive. Either way, it certainly looks expensive!

Its from live leak.com so careful what where you look at it...

Not a 787 based on flight deck windows and Wikipedia says Singapore hasn't taken any deliveries yet.

Crazy how everything had to line up perfectly for that to happen.

Based on the nose, it looks like a 767, not a 787.

Still, that's exactly why I shut down the left engine prior to parking! There's just too much crap hanging around at the bottom of the jetway.

Default It was a 777

Multiple news reports say it was a 777:

Been done before.

Link to picture of a Delta L-1011-500 with a container stuck in #3. I think this was about 12 years ago.

My initial thought was a 777 - definitely not a 787.

Looks like a 777. Should have shut down the engine. Someone should have seen that coming as slow as he was moving.
