Weird. FOD was my first thought. And all I ever did was design them...

I've seen the blade leading edges bent and nicked in strange and interesting ways, and am reasonably sure it wasn't ice at 33,000 feet...

See, back in the olden golden times, where people were much thinner and far better-looking, you could actually get a decent snooze with the chair in the upright position!
