Not the first time.

Other things to enter engines:

ladders
deer
rabbit
horse

Incidentally, the really big engines will completely evacuate the amount of air in a 2000 sq ft house in under 3 seconds. That one would probably take abot 5-6 seconds.

There's a video I've seen somewhere of an aircraft carrier where a sailor gets sucked into a jet fighters intake.

Yeah, that was an A-6. Fighters/attack planes I suspect are more prone to doing stuff like that because the amount of air they breathe for the size of intake is about twice as high as a modern high-bypass commercial turbofan.
