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.

Reminds me of what Tim Conway said once. He was swimming to shore from his boat and was surrounded by sharks. He couldn’t understand why. After all, he was wearing his lucky ham.

Hey Wang, it’s a parking lot!

Yep. My father worked for McDonnell Douglas doing final inspection before the airplanes flew. He had to make sure the intakes were clear of tools, etc., and there was nothing around that could get sucked in.

Usually that means foreign object debris
You're right, of course - Debris causes Damage.
I worked with a guy whose favorite saying was something to do with FOD - he used it frequently. I finally asked what he was talking about and he said it was from his Air Force days.

The engine is probably OK, but they were right to cancel the flight until it can be properly inspected. And they were right to arrest the idiot.

In the military (1966-1969) we were taught this was an act of sabotage.
