On rare occasion the entire airframe.
wouldn't have phased a Boeing with GE engines....
Yeah it would've just caused a low oil indication!!!
Hmmm now i wonder where all the stories are regarding mechanics that leave tools dangling in control lines or leaving loose parts inside the compressors (Which at least in our case gave a DC-9 an awesome single engine afterburner)....
"A worker left the tool on the engine cover and it was pulled inside inside causing around £1million worth of damage to the aircraft which had 150 passengers on board."
So it wasn't just inside, it was REALLY inside.
