THAT is how you keep birds out of engines.

All hail the cargo container overlords.

As entertaining as that was, this one has far greater potential for humor

I always wondered what really happened to my luggage when I flew with Air Canada and it never made it to the same spot that I was going to. Maybe this is the answer :o

Damn! I hate it when that happens.

When I worked on the ramp @ YVR ten years ago I recall that some of those containers LOOKED like they'd been sucked into an engine. Some were so badly damaged that it would take 20 mins to load it onto the aircraft.

I'm surprised the aluminum didn't collapse, they call them cans for a reason.

I actually flew overhead LAX the next day and caught this photo of them changing the engine.
