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.

Oh I know it. I sometimes think it’s made “cool” and “healthy” just to help undermine Western Christian culture.
It’s just that Oriental spiritualism is given special honor as people get into all that yoga and tai chi and other nonsense. Never mind the “alternative” medicine of a acupuncture and other garbage. They’re so wise!
Yet Christian practices are mocked. Hypocrites.
**FOD**
A common term back in the USAF, (1966-1970) for an item that can cause “Foreign Object Damage”.
Discarded safety wire, trash, anything that could get sucked into an aircraft engine.
“Foreign Object Disposal” in the Air Force (which could include EOD sniping the objects off the runway to make it safe).
Coulda been worse
The ground crew may have had to fish around for some Wang in the engine.
—”Wang is currently donating a heart, two kidneys and a liver to needy recipients”
He had to pay for the damage somehow!
Wang Tu Lo
Wei Tu Lo
What a wang.
Don’t make fun of the name Wang.
I had a very good urologist named Dr Wang.
Truth.
Yep and something of value has to be tossed into the engine for it to work.
Eh. It’s from an old video game, “The Shadow Warrior”, starring Lo Wang.
Good thing Mr. Wang didn’t have Crypto Currency.......he might have tossed a Laptop into the engine........
Yep Dr. Wang, the wang doctor.
Great guy... had a small asian finger...easy going guy.
agree
But, but, but what if it’s part of his culture????
Yep. I remember daily walkdowns of the ramps and flight deck looking for any little scrap of wire or nut or bolt that could FOD an engine.
—”But, but, but what if it’s part of his culture????”
Everyone knows that all cultures are equal...
Head choppers, coin tossers, Latin Mass...
