A China Airlines Cargo flight from Anchorage-Ted Stevens International Airport, AK (ANC/PANC) struck a baggage cart while taxiing on taxiway S2 entering the southeast cargo ramp area at Chicago-O'Hare International Airport, IL (ORD/KORD) yesterday around 6.30am local.
The no.2 engine was severely damaged and the no.4 engine slightly damaged.
At this time, it is unknown if further damage has incurred due to the impact but there were no injuries reported.

An Instagram post from O’Hare Planespotter reads "the snow team hadn't plowed off the centreline yet so the crew were unable to see the taxi lines. The aircraft then taxied to far left of the centreline and therefore hit old baggage carts at the Americans boneyard"

This aircraft isn't having a good start to the year as only last week (16th January) the aircraft suffered a problem with engine no.4 on takeoff from Taipei-Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. The flight crew followed procedures and dumped fuel before returning to Taipei-Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE/RCTP) for a safe landing.
Witnesses reported hearing an explosion-like sound and flames coming from the engine, which is indicative of a possible engine surge/compressor stall event.
