a. Leaving the airport, Henri's Blackberry fell out of his pocket d. I saw the new dye cast machine walking past the workshop

Explanation:

In sentence (a), it seems as if Blackberry was leaving the airport, not Henri. In sentence (d), it seems that machine was walking, not the carrier. In both sentences, dangling modifier is used in such as way to modify a word which is not clearly stated.
