Narrative:
While taxiing out for runway 21R and turning right at taxiway K 13, jet blast from the right engine blew over 3 LD3 containers, one of which hit a government truck and broke the window, resulting in glass cuts to the employee. I believe this problem was caused by the improper location of the containers so close to the taxiway.
