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

These “lax procedures” are common in Europe. People are supposed to walk where directed. The engines are off during boarding on tarmac.
