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.

L.A. is full of beaners, spicks, greasers, ricans. none of them have an IQ over 50. thats why things like this happen so often in california and along the tex/mex border. hispanics are dumb as a box of rocks. thats why they join gangs because they are far to ignorant to survive on their own like real people do.
