Wang reportedly admitted having thrown six coins wrapped in red paper inside the plane's engine. A picture of the coins has now been shared online.

The incident reportedly took place at an airport in Weifang. A male passenger, identified with the last name Wang, was scheduled to fly from Weifang to Haiku on a Beibu Gulf Airlines flight GX8814 when he threw a handful of coins into the engine.

Fortunately, the staff was soon alerted about the coins in the engine after workers found coins on the ground during the pre-takeoff inspection.

The staff managed to recover all the coins but the flight had to be cancelled due to safety concerns. All 148 passengers were forced to do deboard and wait for another flight until the next morning.

Following the incident, WAng was detained by the police.

Don’t get me going on stupid Woke westerners worshipping everything BUT Americanism and falling face flat for all this fool oriental crap.

Christian practices - deserve mockery and rebuttal

Oriental religious practices - deserve respect, reverence and performance.

That sounds like her version of Feng Shui;
The idea that proper placement of household elements can equal harmony. Improper placement can equal dissonance or negativity. Some interior decorators specialize in their knowledge of Feng Shui designs for furniture, windows, doorways, etc.

Looks like the flight was an Airbus, any fool knows that lucky coins only work on Boeing 777.

insist on getting a cubicle that faced a certain direction because other directions were “bad luck.” Some of these Chinese beliefs are hillbilly backward.

Buddhism and Taoism are full of that. They’re not the sophisticated philosophies the liberals made them out to be since the hippie days.

I think this is an old story. Seems I heard it not so long ago.

Using them as human shields around the plane does have certain merit.

Certainly more useful then whatever it is they do now.

Wonder if Chinese military pilots have the same superstition? If so, we might be able to beat them by air dropping “lucky coins” on their bases.
