Never, ever do this
Never put a cargo box in front of a jet engine soon to be spun up:

A departing jet blew the cargo box into the path of this jet. It got sucked up from the tarmac.
(the air suckage of these heavy engines is amazing)

Never, ever do this either
Some years back my shop at work (we do publications and video) had occason to copy a US Navy video in-house for the benefit of some of our personnel who work around aircraft. The video was shot on an aircraft carrier flight deck at night in black-and-white--it looked like a second- or third-generation video by the time it reached us. It depicted some poor devil yanking the chocks from under the wheels of a jet, dashing away and then coming upright a yard or two before he ought to have: right in front of the fighter's jet intake. The encounter was fatal for both the chock guy and the jet engine--chock guy was seen emerging in flaming pieces from the other side of the engine, which then came apart. Ugh.

Were they aiming at anything?
Or just watching the lovely trails of color?

That you've met.
Gotta be more than just those two groups that eat roadkill. Don't ya think? First off would be any of the worlds starving people.
Never mind, no cars, right?
Yeah, right.
C'mon Bill, you've been hungry, so you should know. If it's edible, it's edible.
