As soon as I saw the headline, I knew this had to be in China.

80 years old, and she could throw nine coins into a jet engine from the tarmac?
The Yankee scouts are coming to sign her up.

"its an airbus A320" Maybe she just wanted to hear them go Boeing, Boeing, Boeing, Boeing when they fired them up.

No, you give the Flight Attendant a goose.
Sorry. Couldn’t resist.

Maybe she threw them from a hundred feet away. If so, my SF Giants are probably scouting her for their bullpen. On second thought, if she missed with a bunch of the coins, they’ve got that covered.

I wish there were coins that would disable the deep bass booming in passing cars.

It may sound racist but my limited experience traveling mainland China tells me that it's a country populated largely by medieval savages.
To: ransomnote
I know this is China but this brings up a question I always ask: Why cannot passengers sue for their time and trouble when a passenger acts irresponsibly and as a result gets a flight delayed or cancelled?
Has anyone ever tried?

I took one from Bejing to Chendu in 1997. People brought aboard live chickens and more. Incredible sight!

Chinese are very superstitious. This book for example is ubiquitous and tells all the lucky days (auspicious) and bad days for doing things
Sometimes it's called the Chinese Almanac.
Leaving coins around is meant to bring good fortune in making money. If you move to a new house, for example, you're supposed to leave coins laying around the floors. It's feng shui and astrology.

Reminds me of a very old National Enquirer article: shows a man cheerfully waving his stumps over the caption, “Man sucked through roaring jet engine, yet he lives!”

I wish I could sue the airlines or any other entity for running late. The penalties for anyone being late with anything should be draconian enough to shock the Chinese, Saudis or ancient Romans.
