Effects?

Hmm, never done a "sucked up baggage container" situation in the sim..

CF-6 dont use EPR as primary indication, do they? I wonder what the display on the flight deck would show, severely reduced N1 and a very high EGT, providing the containter is not actually stuck in the fan, and the fan can still rotate?

Probably good luck it got stuck at an angle and did not get sucked up cleanly, there would have been large bits of container going through the engine.
