This isn't the first time a passenger has thrown coins into a plane's engine. CNN reported that it happened on another Chinese Southern Airlines flight in 2017, when an elderly passenger said it was "a prayer for a safe flight."

In 2019, Chinese airline Lucky Air sued a passenger for $21,000 for throwing two coins into a plane's engine, which he said was for good luck, per Simple Flying.

"a prayer for a safe flight."

it takes some kind of special retard to apply ancient customs directly to advanced complex machinery.

They are going to have to make another retarded video to tell people not to do that.
and big stickers on the engine itself like they have on the plane doors...

That’s the ‘old dumbing down of everything because there’s retards in the world.

I’m actually super surprised when you but a henkels knife set it doesn’t say don’t stab self. But at some point the packaging manager will be asked to add that

In China you also get moms putting their kid to take a shit on top of a public garbage can since they don’t want to find a bathroom or use diapers.

I saw one grandparent let their kid take a piss directly on the floor while queuing up for the checkout in Walmart. This bin toilet is practically good manners.

Those same folks do this, think rhino horn is a cure for ED, drink bear bile; yet some hold up acupuncture and herbal remedies as "ancient healing".

It's all nonsense.

Just sending my good vibes with those coins.


Also tell the Boeing assembly lines to tighten their bolts.
