Looking out the window as the engine shreds itself and catches fire: “Oooh, that’s lucky”
Dumbass idiot.
Worst wishing well ever
Having lived in China for a bit I can imagine EXACTLY how this went down. Made me chuckle, good memories!
China mainlanders ?
_Again_?
I just hope it wasn’t the same passenger.
That’s an action against self interest.
eldery person who grew up poor and never seen a plane before probably
… Again?
I swear this happens every few years.
He thought it was coin operated.
Someone this dumb should be arrested.
Futility, sabotage and indifference
Toss a coin to your twitcher
This happened about 5 years ago in China also
>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.
Did he get his wish?
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.
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??
How did the passenger get that kind of access?
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.
Well that was lucky…..NOT!
Hmm that sounds bad. I bet it’s bad
Scariest thing is that they deemed the plane airworthy in only 4hours.
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.
Chinese culture is weird. Stealing and deception is valued.
Better than throwing themselves.
That’s a sound you will never forget.
Take my money!
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.

Not the first time either iirc. Its for “good luck”.
Gotta pay the wind gods.
I’ll feel more comfortable with a 20-hour delay in this scenario
