Flashermac Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 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 luckâ€, mainland media reported. Passengers boarding the flight reportedly saw an elderly woman throwing coins at the engine for “blessings†from the middle of the boarding staircase and alerted the crew. Ground staff said the woman, who appeared to be about 80 and had limited mobility, was accompanied by her husband, daughter and son-in-law. After maintenance crew inspected the aircraft, they found nine coins in one engine. The captain was quoted as saying the metal, if sucked up by the engine, could have caused serious damage, including failure. The flight was later given a green light and took off at 5.52pm, more than five hours late. It is scheduled to arrive in Guangzhou at 8.14pm. China Southern Airlines told reporters that passengers were reminded to comply with civil aviation laws and regulations, which prohibit behaviour that could jeopardise the safety of the flight. Mainland air travellers have been responsible for several safety incidents in recent years, including opening emergency doors and assaulting cabin crew. Beijing has responded by creating a tourist black list, with offenders banned from travel. http://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2100242/elderly-flight-passenger-throws-coins-engine-luck-delays-take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
