Even though FOD could ruin a jet engine, the engine in a jet train was supposed to be at a position which would render some accidents more unlikely. Years ago, a former teacher of mine mentioned an accident which happened with a Varig engineer, whose hands and part of the forearms were chopped by the core of an aircraft engine which I don't remember if it was a pure-jet or a turboprop.
