Passengers Forced to Get Out and Push Broken Airplane Off Runway

The great heave forward... Chinese passengers are forced to get out and push their broken passenger plane

By John Garth

Anyone who has ever used budget airlines know only too well how uncomfortable it can be: long queues, cramped seats and every tiny extra costs you.

But at least they are never told to get out and help push their plane.
That is exactly what happened to a group of passengers in China who were asked to get out and push after their plane broke down shortly after landing.


The Chinese Shandong airlines flight CRJ7 arrived safely at Zhengzhou from Guilin, but broke down before it could taxi to the passenger terminal.

Airport staff were called out to help push, but they had to ask some of the 69 passengers on board to help because the plane would not budge.

It took the group nearly two hours to shove the plane half a mile to a side lane.

One of the airport workers said: 'Thank God it was only a 20-ton medium-sized aeroplane. If it were a big plane, it would have knocked us out.'

The plane remained parked in the side lane on Friday night, waiting for technicians arriving on the next flight to fix the problem.

größere Maschine = mehr Personen zum schieben.... is doch ganz einfach

[Patrick Moncken]

Nur wo schieben?

Die Tragflächen wären dann viel zu hoch
Das bissl drücken am Fahrwerk wirds da nicht bringen
