Chinese Man Fined £13,000 for Throwing ‘Lucky’ Coins at Plane Engine
3rd January 2020
A Chinese airline passenger who threw coins into a plane engine while boarding in a bid to ensure a safe journey has been ordered to pay 120,000 yuan (£13,115) in compensation to the airline.
Twenty-eight-year old Lu Chao, who was flying with Lucky Air, was ordered to pay the fine after the airline had to cancel the flight to search for the coins.
China went straight from ancestor-worship to Communism, so they’ve never really known a reason-based social system.
Couple that with all of the endangered species being killed for ‘traditional Chinese medicine’ and it becomes clear that China is in many respects really rather primitive.
