Airplane Grounded after Object Sucked into Engine at LAX

LOS ANGELES (AP)  -- Aviation authorities say a baggage cart was drawn
into an engine of a Boeing 747 as it was leaving a terminal gate at
Los Angeles International Airport.

Airport spokesman Marshall Lowe says the incident occurred about 1:30
p.m. Monday as Japan Airlines Flight 61 to Narita was pushing back
from a gate at the Tom Bradley International Terminal.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor says a baggage
cart was being towed by at the same time and the engine ingested one
of the containers.

The object was lodged in the outer left-side engine of the four-engine jet.

The 245 passengers were taken back to the terminal. The plane also had
a crew of 18.
