[CZ] Elderly passenger throws coins into engine for luck, delays take-off for hours
A flight from Shanghai to Guangzhou was delayed after an elderly woman passenger was suspected of throwing coins into the plane’s engine to ensure “good luck”, mainland media reported.

China Southern Airlines Flight 380 was held up at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport after an elderly woman passenger caused a disruption, according to the airline’s official WeChat account.

Normally this type stuff angers me. In this case though I can do no more than shake my head and laugh.

Hell, I would probably buy her a beer back in the terminal as we waited :-)

9 coins were found, with the total value of around 0.50 RMB.... that's like 8 US cents. I wonder that kind of penalty she received.
