RUDAS,

Those engines can swallow a decent sized chunk of ice and not even flinch. If you can get your hands on it, there is a 4 part video series of the original 777 engines being certified which shows the ice ingestion test. It swallowed several feet of around 2 inch thick of ice and made snow cones out back.
