But those are only the most critical examples. Also a huge problem is substandard parts, screws, bolts, nuts, etc. holding together critical infrastructure, as well as the quality and spying problems inherent in anything electronic or software-related from there. We MUST divorce our supply chains from China, period. When Trump returns, he should declare China a national security risk, whatever process is required to do that within the Commerce Department, and work out phase-out deadlines for companies that rely upon Chinese manufacturing or Chinese materials. We simply cannot trust such a backward and corrupt culture to supply nearly everything we consume.
Who ever threw the coin should be charge with attempted mass murder. If there is such a charge in China. Maybe that person will just disappear.
My father worked for McDonnell Douglas doing the final inspection on military planes before they flew off to be delivered. One time he brought home a brochure called “Preventing FOD,” which I read, and as a child I learned about what coins, screws, etc., could do to a jet engine. Maybe China could translate that to hand out at airports.
Obviously the guilty passenger has become China’s newest involuntary organ donor by now.......
“How did he get on the tarmac?”
By bus
how are they near enough to do this?
seems to be a poorly designed airport
They’re superstitious. Proving yet again it’s bad luck to be superstitious.
Godless confucian scum ... at least that's the last time he will ever fly.
It’s for good luck!
Lucky Airlines.
I don’t think that name would fly here.
And carrying your 40 lb carry on up the long staircase to board the plane.
(A little Darwin Award encouragement makes the world better for the rest of us.)
Throwing metal objects into a spinning engine for luck............ok then.
If he really wanted to be lucky, he should have thrown the coins at the pilot.
***Don’t throw coins into engines ***
We learned back in 1966 USAF aircraft maint school that this was a very common way to sabotage an aircraft.
And these retards are America’s greatest threat? Sheesh.
Young people and their kooky fads! What will they think of next?
