WOW, you fly from Heathrow all the way to Chicago with no problems, and all of a sudden.................
(ground audio is a bit rough, but you'll get the idea)
American Airlines flight AA47, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, was taxiing to the gate after landing at Chicago-O'Hare International Airport, IL (ORD), when a cargo container was sucked into the no.2 engine inlet.
At the time of the incident the aircraft was on Taxiway B, following Air France flight AF136, an Airbus A350-900. Reportedly a vehicle towing on or more containers crossed Taxiway B using a service road. Apparently the jet blast of the A350 blew one of the containers towards the Boeing 787.
