    It’s for luck. Like throwing coins into a well or on train tracks. No one said it was a good idea. But it makes some folks feel more calm about their journey, despite wrecking havoc on a turbofan.

      Oh, it’ll bring luck alright. Probably not the kind they want though.

      We did coins on the tracks to flatten them for fun!
