and its like that works...
Unfortunately superstitions are still prevalent in ALL parts of the world! I'm not defending this moron but why do we throw coins into a pond? Why won't many people walk under a ladder? What I'm saying is even in the most developed countries, there are a huge majority of uneducated people and and believers of anything they are told.
I imagine there's a solid reason why there's no screening across the engines (to prevent coins, fod, bird strikes, etc.) Why not post signs warning people to not approach the engines...in the jetway, at the ticket counters, on the tickets themselves. Short of that, couldn't something just be rolled in front of the engines while they're on the ground to shield the engines? I fear I may be terribly naive with these thoughts, but it just doesn't seem like that difficult a problem to solve.
Completely harmonious with Chinese medicinal beliefs.
What the? Unbelievable! Someone whack him on the knuckles with a "Louisville Slugger".
why whack him on the knuckles when he was an innocent man just going by his stupid beliefs? He had not one clue that if they took off with coins in the engine that his plane would go down in flames..
What scares me is one day they are going to catch and surpass us all. I Don't think we should laugh out of the side of our faces.
not a chance... sorry about your luck
