It happens everywhere....last year I picked up just such a roll from the car park at STN - not airside, but alongside the airside fence; but just look around any freight area...lucky that the one at Dub didn't go down an intake;I wonder how many cargo loaders, vehicle drivers and others are aware of the ability of a jet engine to hoover up anything in front of it? It even surprises some engineers, like the one at Hatfield a few years ago who got swallowed by a 146 - they ain't exactly powerful, just imagine what a 747 donk could do!
