Incredible moment Boeing jet engine sucks up a luggage transporter

A Boeing airplane has been left severely damaged after its engine sucked up  a luggage transporter while it was taxiing to the gate. 

The American Airlines Boeing 787 had arrived at Chicago O'Hare Airport after the long eight hour flight from London Heathrow. 

In the footage, the long haul flight can be seen making its way to the gate as a luggage transporter drives past the plane. 

Then, dramatically, the boxes on the vehicle - containing luggage-  are dragged off the back of the cart and pulled towards the aircraft's massive engines. 

One of boxes is then ingested by the engine and shredded into pieces with it's content spilled across the runway.

None of the passengers were injured  but the airplane has been left severely damaged. 

Aviation A2Z, reported that crew members claimed that the incident occurred after the vehicle drove between two taxiing airliners and the jet blast from the first plane propelled he containers towards the second jet.

The damaged container appears to be an AKE Unit Load Device (ULD) which commonly used at airports to transport luggage and cargo. 

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)  told Aviation A2Z: 'The crew of American Airlines Flight 47 reported an engine issue while taxiing to the gate at Chicago O'Hare International Airport around 4 p.m. local time on Thursday, October 17. The passengers deplaned normally. The Boeing 787-9 was traveling from Heathrow Airport in London.'

MailOnline have approached American Airlines for a comment. 

In May this year, a person died after they were sucked into the engine of a KLM jet at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. 

 Passengers and crew members on board the Embraer 190 aircraft - which KLM uses for their Cityhopper service to nearby destinations - told local media that a 'hellish noise' came from the engine, which quickly began trailing smoke.

The plane was waiting to depart from Amsterdam to Billund in Denmark when the tragedy occurred.
