Can a body fall into or be pulled into a black hole?
Objects can fall into a black hole if their trajectories are just right, but
except if you are practically standing on the darn things and suffer
a relativistic phenomenon near the event horizon called
'frame dragging', black holes do not pull or 'suck'. In general, you have to
work hard to be misfortunate!
