A new online video has surfaced online that shows Siberian airline passengers pushing the broken jet on a freezing runway.
The travelers had to get out and push their plane in temperatures of minus 52C after freezing weather brought it to a standstill, Sky News reported.
Passengers can be seen wearing thick winter coats and are heard shouting as they put their hands on the wings of the plane and push it several metres.
The airline's technical director, Vladimir Artmenko, told the Rossiyskaya Gazeta daily that the plane had stood on the runway for 24 hours and the pilots forgot to take off the parking brake and that caused the brake pads to freeze up.
