I was incredulous after reading this, thinking how stupid can one be:

Given that she is 80 years old, hopefully she didn't throw anything valuable!

I was possibly done to "Bless" the flight by someone who had never seen a "big silver bird" before.
Do I see a new slab label in the future.........?????
Also signed by the thrower.....?
Limited edition would force spirited bidding.

I saw this last night. funny...though dangerous

On long road trips, I usually put sugar in my gas tank for luck.
Haven't you ever boarded a plane by walking across the tarmac past a wing and climbing a stairway?
she should have taken an older plane,then she could safely taped the coins to a propeller
Not since the 1950's.

I wonder what those coins look like now.

You need to fly to more interesting places that have smaller airports!
Depends on whether the Yuan hit the fan!
I can remember climbing the stairs to board in the 1970's.
Doesn't seem like much "luck" would come from this stupidity.
Perhaps the airline would not let her sacrifice a chicken in the terminal?
Eastern Shuttle DC-NY in the 1980's...out the tail ramp. Fort Lauderdale airport same time period. Dad parked in the grass at front door of the terminal to pick me up. Love field -Texas.
You can't fix stupid,,,,,
There are still many flights that are boarded on the tarmac.... have done that several times in the last year...However, I did not throw any coins into the engine..

Are you sure ricko? I know you dispatch any toned coins in some manner.

Why on earth would you want to do something that could mess up an engine on a plane you will be flying on?
Sounds really stupid to me.

Silly lady. She was supposed to tape those Coins over her ayes.
Were they taken off the pop reports?
@Catbert.... I never would harm a coin...even tarnished coins....My dogs love to play with them...
Joking of course.... Cheers, RickO
