SSJ-100 flew with open engine hood SVO-ODS
Given the possibilities for dangerous and expensive damage when cowls are left unlocked, I do wonder why they don't have proximity sensors near the latches? These are fitted to the cockpit windows in most airliners and that is mostly to stop embarrassment. Many cars have sensors to tell you if the bonnet isn't locked properly, can't be rocket science...

WARNING - Thread Drift
Which airliners have these sensors? I've flown Douglas products and Boeing products and neither had a "window open" warning.

777 has sensors on the number 2 flight deck windows.
If the Window is open you'll get an EICAS "Window Flight Deck L/R"
So yes some Airliners do have them

(ups! is from 2:35)
Is that from the previous flight before the flight with where the cowling came off?
Notice the man in the dark coat approaching the man who was at fault? He refuses to stop and the dark coated man tries to grab his arm.

I'm really curious what putting cones down in front of engines is supposed to do.....other than FOD engines that is
. BTW, that is an Airbus in the video.

I was watching the video and couldn't believe that bit so I wound it back and watched more closely.

Crew walk around in Russia? Welcome to the real world, they don´t do that, they have someone to do it in the ground who actually does nothing.
This is a walk around inspection done by russian pilots on a bizjet, they started engines with engine covers on!!!!!! You may look at the engine, actually the left engine.

Yep, it happens, but not on the left engine with a Hughe RED engine cover 10 meters away from you and pax boarding the aircraft. Actually this incident happened less than 1 year ago. You should see the face of the aircraft owner who was the pax on board!!!
I arrived to the parking just minutes after and you could still smell the plastic burnt from the engine, it was a plastic engine cover.
