Chinese Workers Pushed an Airplane Off the Runway

Come on, we’ve all joked about having to go out and push a broken airplane, but the Chinese actually did it: when a faulty plane was stuck in a Zhengzhou airport, they sent 30 people to push it off the runway!


It took them nearly two hours to push the CRJ7 plane, with 69 passengers and seven-strong crew on board, less than half a mile to a side lane.

"Thank God, it was only a 20 tonne medium-sized airplane. If it had been a big plane, it would have knocked us out," said one man, who said he had never experience anything like it in ten years working at the airport.
