Efrem,

What kind of airplane were you on? The DC9/MD80 has cargo doors which open inward so they couldn't have been getting in front of the engines. Can't think of an airplane with tail mounted engines and outward opening belly doors.

I must confess I don't recall. That was the explanation given by the pilot after we had returned to the gate. I was more concerned at the time with getting to Calgary than with confirming the credibility of what he said.

In any case, it was something Delta flew SLC-YYC in the 1995-1997 time frame (which is the closest I can now narrow it down).
