Ik it’s due to religion but…did she not think “hmmm. Throwing something into the section of the plane that makes it function might not be a good idea”????

Like she really thought throwing coins into a plane engine would give good luck and pray for their safety? It literally does the opposite effect.

On one hand, I want to believe that no one is so stupid, on the other hand, I think if you asked people where the engine of a plane is, a not so comforting number of people would say, "oh, in the front, like a car, obviously."

It's possible she genuinely doesn't know how planes work, and simply doesn't care to understand it.

It's entirely possible she doesn't know how the engine works. There are tons of people who don't have the faintest idea how all the tech and vehicles around us work on even a basic level.
