– Throwing coins into a fountain is often considered lucky; tossing them anywhere else could get dicey. Lu Chao of China found that out quickly after the first-time flier threw a handful of yuan coins into the engine of his Lucky Air plane in February of last year as he was getting on the aircraft, the BBC reports.. When crew spotted the money on the ground next to the engine, the flight was canceled, the plane examined, and passengers left without their original flight to Kunming from Anqing.
Lucky Air says the entire incident cost it upward of $17,600, mainly to book accommodations and new flights for passengers, per the South China Morning Post. Lu, 28, was arrested and detained for 10 days on charges of disturbing public order.
every country needs more imported third world superstitious idiots for citizens
can’t dumb down the populations fast enough to bring about the new world order for sorass
“… cost it upward of $17,600 …”
Huh?
Thought everything was free under communism … ask BS or Sandy O’Cortez …
izlamo delenda est …
Superstitious retards.
Luuuuu! You got some splaining to do!
This explains why they have to steal intellectual property.
Jet engines are very unforgiving when they have foreign objects in them. This is why we did FOD (foreign object damage) walkdowns on the flight line every morning to pick up any foreign object on the ground lest it get sucked up into the jet intake and cause catastrophic engine failure. I’m surprised the Chinks didn’t take him out and shoot him for being an idiot.

See, @bill? It’s working.
‘Rotsa ruck’.
Oh… zipperheads… you really are a superstitious and surprisingly dumb lot, aren’t you? And, BTW, eating rhino horns won’t make your microdick grow any larger than eating your own fingernails. It’s pretty much the same stuff.
I see a future career as a Democrat voter there.
Good job, Einstein. Turbine much?
I knew this was Chinese without reading beyond the headline. Everything native Chinese think about the world is based on “luck.” Everything.

When you, finally, understand that everything you have, everything you will ever have, is what The Party hasn’t found and taken from you, yet, that’s more rational, more intelligent, than western Europeon “values.”
I heard you get even better luck if you replace the coins with a liberal.
Reminds me of the incident about 30 years ago of the muzzies that started a cooking fire in the airliner. East meets West.
It gets worse…
As Mr. Ruark pointed out many years ago, what we’re importing from the “dark continent” is only a few generations out of coming down from living in the trees.
Somebody’s social credit score just went negative. He’ll be traveling by foot now, and fortunate if he is allowed to wear shoes while doing so.

So they could roast their “support goat?” 🙄
