  1. I’ll feel more comfortable with a 20-hour delay in this scenario

  2. Looking out the window as the engine shreds itself and catches fire: “Oooh, that’s lucky”

  3. Having lived in China for a bit I can imagine EXACTLY how this went down. Made me chuckle, good memories!

  4. _Again_?

    I just hope it wasn’t the same passenger.

  5. eldery person who grew up poor and never seen a plane before probably

  6. >Similar incidents of people throwing coins at planes, apparently for “good luck,” have occurred in recent years in China.

    Wow. Someone needs to stop this before it becomes a TikTok trend.

  7. So they throw coins for a good luck prayer. Well we all know how that prayer would have gone if the plane had tried to take off not knowing what was in the engine.

  8. Morons… The airline should provide another “target”.. and make ¥¥ on that

    Is there a parallel to oxcarts? Do they feed coins to the draft animals? Where does this crap come from??

  9. I’m just trying to figure out how. I mean it looks like they have gangways so how do you get onto the tarmac and close enough to throw a coin into the turbine. I mean okay fine, not all countries have as struck airport regulations as America, but still, I flew out back in the day when you could get to the gate without a ticket; you could not get anywhere near the jet engines (or anything technical) with or without a pass.

  10. Scariest thing is that they deemed the plane airworthy in only 4hours.

  11. Takes a special kind of idiot to throw change in the jet for good luck. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when someone explains to him what he actually did.

  12. Chinese culture is weird. Stealing and deception is valued.

  13. Better than throwing themselves.

    That’s a sound you will never forget.

  14. Without clicking the article I know it’s some goddamn *shushu* because nobody under retirement age uses cash, much less coins in this country. Source: I work/live here.

  15. For “luck”. Guessing haven’t read article.
