Passengers push plane off runway after tyre bursts

A group of passengers pushed a plane of the runway at Bajura Airport in Kolti, Nepal, after one of the tires burst.

According to Nepali journalist Sushil Bhattarai, the Twin Otter aircraft belonging to Tara Air, was left stranded in the middle of the runway. As the aircraft was obstructing the runway, passengers and security officials came together to move the plane and resolve the crisis.

The clip that shows passengers pushing a lightweight flight, went viral after a Twitter user posted it with the caption: “Probably only in Nepal”.
