A Boeing plane was badly damaged after its engine “sucked up” a baggage conveyor while heading to the gate.

The Boeing 787 of American Airlines had arrived at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport after a long eight-hour flight from London Heathrow.

The video shows the plane heading to the gate and a baggage handler passing by.

Then there was a dramatic development as the transport vehicle’s luggage was dragged from the back of the trolley towards the massive engines of the aircraft.

One of the suitcases is then swallowed by the engine and smashed to pieces with its contents spilling out onto the runway.
