Passenger threw coins into engine while boarding at Shanghai Pudong to wish for a safe journey

浦东机场乘客登机时将硬币扔进引擎祈求旅途平安

According to passengers, during boarding for China Southern's CZ 380 from Shanghai to Guangzhou early this afternoon, an elderly first class passenger threw a handful of coins into the engine. Apparently, she prefaced it with a prayer for a safe journey. I guess the engine inlet looks like a big wishing well?
Update: Maintenance log for the aircraft now has the most amusingly ridiculous entry ever: "Passenger threw several coins to engine"

根据其他乘客描述，当天下午中国南方航空公司上海到广州CZ380航班登机时，一名老年头等舱乘客将一把硬币扔进发动机里去。用以祈求旅途平安。我猜发动机进气道看起来像一个大大的许愿池？
更新：现在该飞机的维修记录本里有了最搞笑荒唐的记录：“乘客将硬币扔进引擎”。

This is a classical Chinese fail. If that person had only thrown hot water it would have been good. It proves once more: Hot water is good for your healthy :)

这是典型的中国人失败。如果那个人只是将热水倒进去，那倒没事。这再次表明：多喝热水有益身体健康 ：）

I don't get how that is supposed to work in practice? Even if she's on the tarmac she's still going to be a good distance away from the engines, no? Am I supposed to believe an elderly Chinese woman can throw coins like a baseball pitcher?

我不知道这实际是怎么发生的？即使她当时在停机坪上，她距离发动机还是蛮远的吖，不是吗？难道说一名中国老年妇女可以像棒球投手一样扔硬币？

It's actually not that far if you're boarding from the stairs, and honestly from my experience, she could have walked right up to it. Photo I took in Guangzhou when they boarded an A380 this way, it's a bit closer on an A320, and the ground staff were just milling about, not really paying much attention.

如果你是从楼梯上登机其实并不远，我自己的经历来看，她可能是直接走过去了。在广州登机A380的时候我就看到人们这么干，A320的话距离就更近了，而地勤人员就在那里瞎晃，不怎么在意。

为了更吉利，应该用比特币！

Welcome to N0nglandia! Western high tech and Chinese backward peasants don't mix well!

看来西方高科技和中国落后农民相处的不是很好！

Just when you thought Chinese air travelers couldn't get any worse.

就在你以为中国航空乘客不会更糟糕的时候。

Cutest "bad Chinese flyer" story ever. Not entitled, not rude, just from a different time...

这是“糟糕的中国航空乘客”新闻里最可爱的一个了。没有自以为是，没有粗鲁，只不过是又一个事件而已。。。

Of all my travels in and out of PVG, I have never boarded from the tarmac.

在我乘坐的进出浦东国际机场的所有航班中，我都没有通过停机坪登机的。

For shorter flights, I rarely get a gate. Always getting bussed out. Overheard an elderly German guy last time: "now I know vy ze flight iz so cheap. Zey bus us half ze way zer"

短途飞行，我很少通过登机廊桥登机。总是坐巴士到停机坪里去。上次无意中听到一个德国老人说的话：“现在我知道机票为什么这么便宜了。因为我们还得坐巴士登机。”

Common in many airports for budget airlines.

在很多机场里，廉价航公公司普遍这么干。

I've had to do it for Japan Airlines too out of PVG, and they're not exactly budget. Getting on their one flight out of SHA is the only way to guarantee boarding by jetbridge.

坐日本航空从浦东机场出发时我也在停机坪上登机，日本航空不算是廉价航空公司吧。但是坐他们从上海虹桥出发的航班的话就绝对可以通过登机廊桥登机。

Does this mean that I soon don't need to take the stairs to board an get off the airplane anymore?

这是否意味着以后我坐飞机都不用去停机坪登机和下机啦？

Engine compartment open...why...how
Have any of you ever seen an open hatch to the engine??

发动机舱处于开放状态，这是为什么，为什么会这样
你们有谁见过发动机舱处于打开状态的吗？？

80+ years old.. Sure blame anyone that was with her but she should get let off with a warning

80多岁。。。当然应该责怪和她一起的人，但是也应该对她进行警告处分。

I also think this is terribly cute and totally benign. But everyone is saying she's from another time and I don't get that explanation - when she was young there were engines of all sorts and never in history has it been good to throw anything into them.

我觉得这很可爱，也是无害的。但是有人说她来自不同的时代，这我就不明白了，即使在她年纪还小的时候，当时也已经出现各种引擎啦，历史上也从来没有人说往发动机里扔东西是好的。
