We all have our good luck charms, but grounding a plane usually isn’t involved. A flight in China was delayed for five hours after an 80 year-old woman threw her pocket change into the engine for ‘good luck’ while boarding the plane.

After passengers reported to the crew what they had witnessed, the elderly woman was detained by police. The crew then took apart the engine of the plane to search for the nine coins that were tossed in.

Eight of the nine coins missed the engine, but the one that found it’s way in took five hours to retrieve.

 

 

The good news is that all the passengers made it to their destination safely. She’s made it 80, so maybe the coins were good luck.
