- China Southern Airlines warned passengers on social media not to throw coins at planes.
- A Wednesday flight was delayed four hours after such an incident.
- In a video, a flight attendant tells confused passengers someone threw “three to five coins” into the engine.
It’s for luck. Like throwing coins into a well or on train tracks. No one said it was a good idea. But it makes some folks feel more calm about their journey, despite wrecking havoc on a turbofan.
Oh, it’ll bring luck alright. Probably not the kind they want though.
“May this trip be swift and leave me firmly back on the ground”
* throws some coins into the plane engine *
We did coins on the tracks to flatten them for fun!
