Airline Passengers Forced to Push Their Ride Off The Runway

 

China: Airline passengers in Henan province's capital of Zhengzhou were forced to help airport staff push aside the craft they flew in on. The Bombardier CRJ700 died after touching down from Guilin, 500 miles away. On board were 69 passengers.

When staff realized their muscle power would not be enough, they had passengers help out, which even then took them almost two hours to move 3,000 feet.

An airport worker said: "Thank God it was only a 20-ton medium-sized airplane. If it were a big plane, it would have knocked us out." Repair technicians have yet to arrive on another flight to fix the jet, which is still sitting on the tarmac.
