Passengers push frozen plane
Updated | By tanstan fourie
Despite freezing temperatures, passengers at a remote Siberian airport hopped out their plane and pushed it along the runway like it was no big deal.
Apparently the plane's braking system had frozen into the 'parking position' in the icy temperatures at Igarka airport - which is located north of the Arctic circle - and the plane just wasn't budging.
So the passengers disembarked in minus 52 degrees Celsius to give the plane a push.
And of course, someone whipped out his phone and filmed the whole thing!
The clip below shows the successful mass effort when all the passengers started pushing the wings to get the plane moving. They're heard shouting:
"Come on, push!"
"Real men can plant a tree, build a house, and push a plane."
Another added: "We just want to get back home."
Watch the awesomeness unfold below:
The good news is, the plane eventually took off (and landed) safely. Russian authorities are now investigating whether any air safety rules were broken. Apparently pushing planes is not a good idea, because it could do serious damage to the aircraft's skin.
