A few excerpts...


The 80-year-old woman threw her change at the China Southern Airlines flight as she crossed the tarmac to board.

She told police she launched the coins as she "prayed for safety" on Tuesday.

Of the nine coins launched, only one hit its intended target - but this was enough to force the evacuation of 150 passengers for several hours.

Wonder if they scoped it to see if any got past the fan? I bet mx was ready to strangle her.

I'm guessing it wasn't running at the time, otherwise I can't see them letting pax walk in front of it. From the pic in the article I linked, it looks like they did a fairly thorough inspection regardless.

Probably flew in on an Air Asia flight and thought she would preempt the usual request from the boys up front?

Either that, or she just yuan-na get home.
