A popular Chinese tradition of throwing coins for good luck hasn't proved to be very lucky for one man.

South China Morning Post reports that the incident occurred on February 17 at the Anqing Tianzhushan Airport in China. The airline, ironically, is named Lucky Air.

This is definitely not the first time that something like this has happened in China.
In 2017, an 80-year-old passenger delayed a flight from Shanghai for several hours after throwing nine coins into the plane's engine. In the same year, a few months later, a 76-year-old woman led to the grounding of a Lucky Air flight after throwing coins into the engine.
