Another elderly woman throws ‘lucky’ coins into plane engine, grounding flight

ANQUING, China – For the second time this year, an elderly passenger grounded an airplane in China by tossing coins into the engine for good luck before the flight, according to an Agence France Presse report.

On Wednesday, authorities detained a 76-year-old woman – who was already flying with Lucky Air – after she apparently threw several coins into the aircraft for good measure.

The flight was scheduled to take off Wednesday from an airport in the city of Anqing, in Eastern China, but was held overnight after the ground crew reported finding coins scattered on the tarmac next to the plane.
