The engine was fodded just after he started to roll. Just as the infamous Vulcan eat the sillica gel bag episode happened. Jet was rolling before intake suction release the "ate" item that should not have been there. The pilot had no chance to work out the failure and stop. Wonder if the service enquiry will try the "Sully Sim" save the aircraft sketch?
