they really need to stop this, there was that turtle a little while ago that they removed pounds of coins from

And this... is the reason why the terminal bridge was invented: because average people can't be trusted near multi-million dollar vehicles.

How did she get down there to do that?

Not all airports have ramps to the door. Ive had to walk across tarmac and up a flight of stairs before. I couldve thrown something in engin

She was born before jets. leave the old bat alone.

Well she threw the coins in for luck. What type of luck wasn't specified. We assumed "good." Apparently she meant "bad."

Plane won't crash if it won't fly. The luck coin trick worked, if you ask me.

Like way back from my math teacher: "I'll take a bomb on board! It's very unlikely there'll be two bombs."

Imagine if everyone had that same thought.

How the fuck was a granny allowed to get close enough to throw coins into hte engine to begin with ????
MisterOp
Why, I oughtta give HER my two-cents...

YA dropped from 10km above.

Why? She would just throw them in the engine...

I used to work at a casino and things would break all the time because chinese patrons left coins/chips/fruit/etc in them.

Superstition can be incredibly dangerous.
Dagordae
I'm more concerned that she was allowed near an active jet engine.
retgarr
That's not surprising. That she was on the ramp for an aircraft that large is surprising though.
TheAlviss
Ooh, it wasn't running. They never would have retrieved the coins if so.
zaphod
they were probably boarding with no bridge, so you walk right up to the plane. Also not running while pax are boarding.

Maybe she was wishing her family could stay a bit longer - wish granted

That's what I was thinking
chicagobears3454
From what I've read she was wishing for a safe trip which makes it even better haha
Carnot
She was a passenger though
YouCantGuessMyTHIRDDDFavoriteColor
Maybe the opposite, wishing to never see them again - wish not granted
SaunterbluggetHampterfuppinshire
Maybe both? They stay forever, AND she never sees them again.

What if the engine would have blown in flight, and her doing that made them make repairs to faulty systems?

I bet she was pissed when they took them out.

I wonder how many times she has done that and nobody noticed.

Chinese tradition, again, hurting a large group of people

how is it chinese tradition to throw coins for luck? it's actually a western thing.

*looks at rest of the world* I think you could've gotten by with just "tradition" there, no nation of origin needed. *nod*
woxx150
Fuck off please.
chronomondm
No, specifically CHINESE tradition--ie, their obsession with mystical medicine--is literally what keeps the poaching industry profitable.
owlest
how is that relevant to this particular incident? this is the action of one person, and throwing coins is not even a Chinese tradition.
chronomondm
The chinese, and their culture, have been and continue to create a PERMANENT negative mark on the world by essentially paying for endangered
chronomondm
...species to be driven to extinction. Their culture is OBJECTIVELY hurting people and animals, and damaging world heritage (animal species)

I think you could have gotten away with just the statement, no cringey action emotes needed. *farts into your open mouth and flies away*

I'm ethnically Chinese (not from China) and I think part of the problem is how accessible travel is these days; lots of people from rural -

cultures experiencing a world they have little or no concept of. We have lots of passengers like that. Not their fault per se, but it's -

frustrating precisely because it's just their ingrained behavior and beliefs. :/
KeeleonOhms
What exactly is the belief? Would she throw change at a horse?
owlest
This is not a Chinese practice, like its literally the only time in history it happened

She might throw coins at its feet, who knows? One thing I've learned is that I can't predict what people from these cultures will do. We had

Pfft no country can look down on another country for their practice of animal slaughter/usage...We ALL have skeletons

We ain't talking about then. We are talking about now and the rate of extinction.

We've decided we like Rhinos and sit idly by while many many animals die (no I'm not Vegan)...there's no high horse for anyone

Oh, absolutely--education is the key.

andrewtater
Why don't we just powder Viagra and sell it as rhino horn? Rhinos live, we make money, Chinese get their stiffies...
Elven91
They would believe it's rhino's merit and the request for poachers will rise. Other strategies are more efficient
QuasarsAndBlazars
Or just sell viagra... which actually does what they believe the rhino horn would do...
