This is the best summary I could come up with:
A major Chinese airline has warned passengers not to throw coins into its planes' engines after an incident last week.
China Southern Airlines posted a five-minute video on Weibo explaining how actions like "throwing coins at the plane" can delay flights and threaten safety.
"If they pose a threat to aviation safety, they will also face varying degrees of penalties," it said in a post on the social network.
On Wednesday, March 6, the airline's domestic flight from the southern region of Hainan to the capital, Beijing, was delayed by four hours, data from Flightradar24 shows.
According to the Liberty Times, a video posted online shows a flight attendant saying that a passenger threw "three to five coins" into the Airbus A350's engine.
In 2019, Chinese airline Lucky Air sued a passenger for $21,000 for throwing two coins into a plane's engine, which he said was for good luck, per Simple Flying.
