Out of respect for the airline, I did not include certain information, but as clearly seen, pilots who taxi airplanes with a cargo loader clearly in the path of the airplane in the gate area will witness something like this- one of the A340's engines went right over the loader, crushed the top extension where the operator stands, and caused significant  engine exterior damage as seen in photo.  No injuries luckily.  Ironically, look at the top left of the engine cowling:  NO PEOPLE nearby- no equipment either!
