BREAKING NEWS – Shanghai, China – A China Southern Airlines flight was stuck in Shanghai for five hours after an elderly woman threw coins into the engine for “good luck.” The 80-year-old stopped on the tarmac to make “blessings” as she was boarding her Guangzhou-bound flight and then threw nine coins into the engine turbine. Her “good luck” ritual prompted concerned passengers to alert airline staff, who conducted a full examination of the engine and evacuated 150 passengers. After the coins were removed and the woman apologized, she caused another two hour delay, when she tried to lubricate the engine by tossing in a bottle of soy sauce.
