Throwing Coins in Plane Engine For Good Luck?

Newser-

 – 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    > Everything native Chinese think about the world is based on “luck.”

    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.”

  5. 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.
