On the morning of March 6, the sun was shining, and Sanya Phoenix Airport was bustling, with passengers dragging their luggage and expecting to embark on their respective journeys. Among them, China Southern Airlines flight CZ8805 from Sanya to Beijing Daxing Airport is quietly docked on the tarmac, waiting for its passengers to board.At 9:50 a.m., the boarding gate of flight CZ8805 began to slowly open, and passengers lined up in turn and entered the cabin through the boarding bridge in an orderly manner. Just as most of the passengers were seated and the flight attendants began to do the final security checks, a middle-aged man caught the attention of the ground staff.
During the boarding process, the man behaved abnormally, looked nervous, and seemed to be holding something in his hand. Out of professional sensitivity, the staff quietly followed him and observed his movements. Just as the man was about to walk through the plane engine area, he suddenly stopped, took a coin from his pocket, and threw it into the engine without hesitation.
This move immediately caused exclamations from the people around and the alarm of the staff. Staff quickly stepped forward to stop the man's actions and immediately reported the situation to airport security. Security personnel quickly arrived at the scene, restrained the man involved, and took him out of the boarding area.
At this time, the passengers in the cabin did not yet know what was happening outside, but felt some unusual commotion. The flight attendant quickly explained the situation to the passengers via radio, calming the mood and informing everyone that the flight would be delayed as a result.
When China Southern Airlines learned of the incident, it immediately activated the emergency plan. The company quickly communicated with the airport to coordinate the inspection and maintenance of the aircraft involved. At the same time, the airline has also issued a notice of flight delay to the majority of passengers through official channels, and provided corresponding change and refund services.
After an initial inspection, the staff found the tossed coin, which fortunately did not cause substantial damage. However, in order to ensure flight safety, the airline decided to conduct a more detailed inspection of the engine. This led to long flight delays.
In the hours that followed, the maintenance crew carried out a thorough inspection and cleaning of the engine in an intense and orderly manner to ensure that there were no potential safety hazards. At the same time, the airport has also strengthened security measures and carried out strict monitoring and screening of the boarding area to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents.
At 2:17 p.m., after a delay of nearly four hours, flight CZ8805 finally took off again, carrying passengers to Beijing. Although the flight delay caused inconvenience to passengers, everyone expressed their understanding and support for the airline's prompt response and proper handling.
According to the response of the customer service staff, the man involved has been transferred to the public security organ. This also sounded the alarm for the majority of passengers, flight safety is no trivial matter, each of us should consciously abide by flight safety regulations, enhance safety awareness, and jointly maintain the important lifeline of flight safety.
In the future, relevant departments should further strengthen safety management and publicity and education, improve the safety awareness and response ability of staff, and ensure that similar incidents do not happen again.
Although the delay of a China Southern Airlines flight due to a passenger tossing a coin is a shocking case, it also shows us the importance of flight safety and the need to strengthen safety management. It is hoped that through the lessons of this incident, we can work together to create a safer and more harmonious environment for air travel.
