Delayed flights are Business Relationshipa bummer, especially ones that are caused by well-meaning humans doing things they shouldn't.

A flight out of Shanghai to Guangzhou, China, was delayed for several hours after a superstitious passenger decided to throw a bunch of coins at the plane's engine, reports the AFP.

According to the cops, the woman threw the coins in order to "pray for good luck."

Police detained the woman, and 150 passengers were taken off the plane while the ground crew painstakingly retrieved the good luck charms. Eight of the coins missed, but one coin was lodged into the plane's engine, which is not a good thing.

The plane did eventually take off, but it was delayed by more than five hours thanks to the woman's coin toss.
