Baggage Container Sucked into Plane Engine

I'm glad no one got hurt but I wonder what was in that container and if any personal items were damaged...

Authorities say a metal baggage container was sucked into an engine of a Boeing 747 at Los Angeles International Airport. No one was injured.

Marshall Lowe, an airport spokesman, says the incident occurred as Japan Airlines Flight 61 to Narita, Japan, was pushing back from a terminal about 1:30 p.m.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says a baggage cart was being towed nearby at the same time and the engine ingested one of its containers.
The big metal container became lodged in the outer left-side engine of the four-engine jet.
The 245 passengers were taken back to the terminal.Federal investigators were examining the jet. (From AP/AOL News)

Mackenzie Phillips, Aaron Sorkin, Dennis Farina endorse new Drugs N Guns Airlines

Gunsdrugs Mackenzie Phillips' arrest today at Los Angeles Airport for trying to smuggle cocaine and heroin onto an airplane could turn out to be quite the lucrative gig!

Dateline Hollywood has learned that the One Day at a Time star has been recruited by fellow airport arrestees Aaron Sorkin and Dennis Farina to invest in and endorse a new venture called Drugs N Guns Airlines.

The air carrier has obtained a special waiver from the Federal Aviation Administration to let passengers carry any controlled narcotic or firearm on the plane. Drugs N Guns Airlines will be marketed primarily to current and former entertainment industry professionals and will fly exclusively between Los Angeles, New York, and Vancouver. Tickets will cost at least ,000 per flight and passengers have to sign an extensive release form before boarding.

"Those of us currently in or recently washed out from the entertainment industry have a unique need to snort or inject drugs and carry weapons with us wherever we go, especially on long cross-country plane rides," Phillips, Farina and Sorkin said in a joint statement. "Guns N Drugs Airlines has been specifically designed to fit the needs of people like us. Our motto is simple: 'Shoot and snort away. We're all celebs here.'"
