The unusual sight of a group of people pushing an airplane off a runway has gone viral on social media.

Passengers at an airport in Nepal were filmed pushing the Tara Air plane lasst Wednesday. According to Nepal News, the plane’s rear tyre burst while landing at Bajura Airport in Kolti and was unable to move off the runway.

Meanwhile, another plane flying overhead was unable to land because the taxiway was blocked by the parked aircraft.

Noticing this, passengers at the airport joined security personnel in pushing the aircraft off the runway.

Footage showed a group of about 20 people working together to move the airplane off the runway.

Yeti Airlines spokesperson said with no infrastructure to drag the airplane to the other side, passengers joined airport officials to move the plane so flight operations could resume.

The other plane was able to land safely after the Tara Air plane was successfully moved out of the way. The plane’s punctured tyre was also replaced shortly afterward, according to officials. —ndtv.com
