Seat-belted Engine

A rough translation of the article:

"Due to high vibration of an engine on a Chinese airliner prior to departure in China the crew decided to fix it by shutting it down and strapping seatbelts to it. The flight landed in FRA due to low fuel were this was noted by ground crews and reported."

… so much for my confidence in Chinese aviation…
