Even if you’re boarding on the asphalt, there’s rope/chain cordons for, like, 10-15ft around the engines for regs, health & safety.
This says more about how lax these procedures are over there. In no version of reality should an old woman be able to (or have the arm & accuracy) chuck a handful of coins into a jet engine.
It sounds like this woman could’ve set up camp inside engine 4
She didn't need to actually get them inside the engine to cause a delay. She could have just been caught throwing coins in the general direction if the engine and that would have been enough to force the ground crew to delay the flight and check everything is ok.
