Rusland: plane freezes to the ground, passangers push it out. - Polidicks

[video=youtube;WDWGcAu0P4M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDWGcAu0P4M[/video] [quote]Freezing temperatures didn’t stop intrepid passengers from helping out a Russian plane that couldn’t move, because its wheels were frozen to the ground. However, brute force won the day in a remote Siberian town beyond the Arctic Circle. 74 passengers, who were on board, offered the seven-member crew and technical staff to help move the frozen Tupolev Tu-134 plane to the takeoff runway on Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the UTair company told TASS. “The passengers disembarked to lighten the weight, and then they volunteered to move it”, she said. The temperatures in Igarka, in the Krasnoyarsk region, hit a low of about 52C. Locals, living some 163 km north of the Arctic Circle, are quite used to cold weather, but machines turn out to be more delicate. Having spent over 24 hours on the apron, the airplane’s wheels simply froze to the ground. However, the brake system wasn’t harmed and the incident is currently under investigation.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;46578075]Krasnojarsk is cold as fuck, glad I don't live there. I feel bad for the guy not using gloves. :([/QUOTE] You must be really fucking stupid not to use gloves in those conditions. Reminds me of news piece when recording low temps were in some Russian city, and one guy had to leave his Lada turned on throughout the night or else it wouldn't start after :v:

Now THIS is where you should clap as the passenger, not otherwise.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;46578075]Krasnojarsk is cold as fuck, glad I don't live there. I feel bad for the guy not using gloves. :([/QUOTE] it only took -20C and a normal pair of gloves for my friend to almost lose his fingers. They were just completely purple.

One guy with his hand in his pocket and one hand on the wing, "I'm helping! I'm helping!" I just love it when people band together and do something awesome. Its heartwarming. Even in those Sub-Arctic temperatures.

I wonder how many "[I]aah сука блять[/I]" were uttered during that.

-nvm-

I remember when my plane was delayed in sheryemetevo in moscow because the plane was covered in frost and it had to be defrosted combined with toxic food on aeroflot and shooting down planes in ukraine russia is not a plane friendly country

Pfft, that's nothing. Once, we had 1 inch of snow in Heathrow.
