4月20日上午，北部湾航空官方微博披露了一旅客向飞机扔硬币“祈福”致航班取消的情况。

On the morning of April 20, the official microblog of Beibu Gulf Airlines disclosed that a passenger threw a coin to the plane to "pray" for the cancellation of the flight.

根据微博内容，4月16日晚19时许，北部湾航空GX8814潍坊-桂林-海口航班在起飞前的检查中发现地面有硬币。经机组人员询问后，座位号为36J的男性旅客王某承认在登机时出于“祈福”目的向飞机投掷了6枚用红纸包裹的硬币，随后相关人员将6枚硬币全部寻回。

According to the microblog, at about 19 pm on April 16, a coin was found on the ground during the inspection of Beibu Gulf Airlines flight gx8814 from Weifang to Guilin to Haikou before taking off. After being asked by the crew, Wang, a male passenger with seat number of 36j, admitted that he threw six coins wrapped in red paper to the plane for the purpose of "praying" when boarding, and then the relevant personnel recovered all the six coins.

出于安全考虑，北部湾航空决定取消当天的GX8814航班，对飞机发动机进行全面检查后于次日安排补班飞行，148名旅客行程受到影响。据悉，旅客王某已移交机场公安做进一步的处理。北部湾航空再次提醒各位，乘坐飞机出行请务必遵守民航法规。

For safety reasons, Beibu Gulf Airlines decided to cancel flight gx8814 on the same day. After a comprehensive inspection of the aircraft engine, it arranged a supplementary flight on the next day, which affected the travel of 148 passengers. It is reported that passenger Wang has been handed over to the airport police for further treatment. Beibu Gulf Airlines once again reminds you that when you travel by air, you must abide by civil aviation regulations.

向飞机扔硬币危害有多大？据航空公司工作人员介绍，硬币如果被吸入发动机核心部位，很可能会与发动机高速转动的叶片发生碰撞，极易导致发动机失速，甚至停止运转，从而酿成惨剧。知道有硬币进入飞机发动机，飞机必须停飞检查。如果不知道硬币的数量和位置，或者硬币的位置太靠近内侧，只能拆除发动机部分零件进行检查操作，这个过程产生的费用可能会有几万元。总而言之，向飞机扔硬币不但不能祈福，还会危害航空安全，肇事者将面临被拘留、被罚款、被起诉等等后果，百害而无一利。

How dangerous is it to throw a coin at an airplane? According to the airline staff, if the coin is inhaled into the core of the engine, it is likely to collide with the high-speed rotating blades of the engine, which can easily cause the engine to stall, or even stop running, leading to tragedy. Knowing that a coin has entered the engine of the plane, the plane must be grounded for inspection. If you don't know the number and location of coins, or if the coins are too close to the inside, you can only remove some parts of the engine for inspection. The cost of this process may be tens of thousands of yuan. All in all, throwing coins at the plane will not only not be a blessing, but also endanger aviation safety. The perpetrators will face the consequences of being detained, fined, prosecuted and so on.

根据公开报道，飞机投币事件近年来屡屡发生。

According to public reports, aircraft coin incidents have occurred repeatedly in recent years.

2019年2月17日，有网友发帖称，安庆飞往昆明的航班，一男子朝发动机投掷硬币。2月21日，记者从安庆市公安局证实此事，云南祥鹏航空“安庆—昆明”8L9960航班，男子登机前向发动机方向投掷两枚硬币，致航班取消，162名旅客滞留机场。该男子已被行政拘留。

On February 17, 2019, a netizen posted that on the flight from Anqing to Kunming, a man threw a coin at the engine. On February 21, the reporter confirmed from the Anqing public security bureau that a man on the 8l9960 flight of Yunnan Xiangpeng Airlines "anqing Kunming" threw two coins at the engine before boarding, resulting in the cancellation of the flight and 162 passengers stranded at the airport. The man has been in administrative detention.

同一航班曾在2017年发生类似乘客投掷硬币事件。2019年3月10日，祥鹏航空计划从济南飞往成都的8L9616次航班，在济南过站登机时，乘务员发现有旅客向廊桥外扔硬币，当事旅客随即被移交机场公安。随后，该航班安全员经检查在廊桥下发现两枚硬币。同时，经机场公安问询，两名旅客出于祈福目的各向廊桥缝隙处扔出一枚一元硬币，与安全员发现的数目一致。经机长现场观察，廊桥与飞机链接处仅有一道狭小缝隙且距离飞机发动机较远，不存在将硬币扔进发动机的可能。最终，该航班在延误2小时后，搭载260名旅客于22时02分起飞。

A similar coin toss incident occurred on the same flight in 2017. On March 10, 2019, Xiangpeng Airlines plans to fly from Jinan to Chengdu on flight 8l9616. When boarding in Jinan, the flight attendants found a passenger throwing a coin outside the corridor bridge, and the passenger was handed over to the airport police. Subsequently, the flight security officers found two coins under the bridge. At the same time, after the airport police inquiry, two passengers for the purpose of praying threw a dollar coin at the gap of the corridor bridge, which was consistent with the number found by the security officers. According to the captain's field observation, there is only a narrow gap between the corridor bridge and the aircraft, and it is far away from the aircraft engine, so there is no possibility of throwing coins into the engine. Finally, the flight took off at 22:02 with 260 passengers after a delay of 2 hours.
