Chinese airline to sue passenger who threw coins into plane engine for good luck, grounding flight
A man is being sued by a Chinese airline after throwing coins into the engine for “good luck”. The perpetrator, named only as Lu, admitted to tossing the coins when Lucky Air staff quizzed passengers after finding two Yuan coins on the ground near the left engine. The domestic flight, from the cities of Anqing to Kunming in China, was grounded due to safety concerns. The 162 passengers were flown the next day following a full engine check. The carrier claims the flight cancellation cost in the region of GBP16,000, and announced legal action would be taken against the passenger. It’s not the first time a passenger has attempted to toss coins into an aircraft engine for good luck. <br/>
