Chinese woman detained after another ‘lucky coin toss’ at aircraft engine
A 66-year-old woman has been sentenced to 10 days in detention for throwing coins into a plane engine for good luck as she boarded a Tianjin Airlines flight in northern China Monday. The woman threw half a dozen coins at the engine before the flight between the Inner Mongolian cities of Hohhot and Chifeng. The service was due to take off soon after 8 am but was delayed by more than 2 hours as staff searched for the coins and moved the remaining passengers to another aircraft. All of the coins were recovered. News outlets published surveillance footage of an unidentified woman in a red jumper throwing coins into a jet engine as she boarded. Police took the passenger and a woman she was travelling with off the flight for further questioning. The incident is the fifth confirmed case of its kind in 2 years. <br/>
