Chinese Workers Pushed an Airplane Off the Runway

“Okay now pop the clutch! Pop the clutch!”

You mean to tell me, that around the whole, entire airport area, they could not borrow any of these tug things?

Their boss was having a laugh on them.

Chinese Airways newest addition to its line. The 30 people powered jet. On sale today ONLY for $30000 yen.

Ah, yes, I can’t remember how often we’ve sat around the water cooler or the campfire, joking about pushing airplanes off runways…

lol @ ted. I was JUST about to make a similar comment.

I can’t say I’ve ever been part of the “we’ve all” that have joked about doing this.

…
“It took them nearly two hours to push the CRJ7 plane … less than half a mile to a side lane.”

Ya know, someone should have told the pilot to release the brakes…

…tom…

erm…I agree with you guys, don’t they have those trucks that push planes backwards so they can begin to taxi? Maroons!

Hello! Pulling is WAY easier. heh heh
And I like the dude in the red jacket ~ directing. I’m sure that was very helpful.

My wife and I once had to push start a diesel bus, along with about 20 other people, on a Green Tortoise trip… crazy stuff, but…

I see no reason fit adults shouldn’t be able to push an airplane around… surely these Chinese took care of the situation quicker and cheaper than would have happened at any US airport.
