Recommended Posts

Police took away an 80-year-old woman Tuesday after fellow passengers reported that she was throwing coins at the plane during boarding of China Southern Airlines flight CZ380 on the tarmac of Shanghai's Pudong International Airport.

"The passenger, surnamed Qiu, who has no prior criminal record or mental health issues, claimed she tossed coins as a prayer for a safe flight," Shanghai Police said in a statement.

(Sighs) This dear woman has lived long enough to know better. This is what all these silly superstitions can do, good thing this was caught before the plane took off.

I know she meant no harm but she needs to be informed that coins do not belong in jet engines and even small, innocuous objects can be a hazard.

"Find a penny,

Pick it up,

And all the day,

Your flight will be grounded."
