An American Airlines Boeing 787-9 registered N834AA arriving from London Heathrow on 17 October was damaged when it ingested a cargo container into its right engine while taxiing to the gate at Chicago O’Hare Airport.
The incident, involving Flight AA47, occurred around 15:00 and caused severe engine damage, though no injuries were reported. Initial reports suggest the container may have been displaced by jet blast from a nearby Air France A350 aircraft.
Emergency personnel responded, and all passengers deplaned safely. The FAA and the Chicago Department of Aviation are investigating.
