Air Corsica Airbus damaged by baggage container blown by Ryanair engine wash

An Air Corsica Airbus (marque?) required an engine change after a baggage container was blown into it by a taxiing Ryanair Boeing 737 today. The incident occurred at Figari, Corsica.

Surely the real question is why a baggage container was in a location hazardous to aircraft?

It matters not whether it was Air France, Aeroflot or Ryanair whose aircraft moved the baggage container - if it was left in a hazardous location then the ground movements chimps are the ones who need to explain the reason.
