Get out and push
 
THESE passengers on a Chinese airline show no hesitation in mucking in and pushing their broken down PLANE.

The Shandong airlines flight from Guilin to Zhengzhou broke down before it could taxi to the passenger terminal.

Airport staff tried to push the plane in, but it wouldn’t budge – resulting in the 69 passengers and seven air crew lending a hand.
See here for a photo.

Funny that passengers seem to have a uniform in China.

Great photo though.

It's been reported elsewhere, though whether passengers were actually drafted is disputed.

That photo shows about 25 people and most of them are airline or airport employees. But it makes a great story, huh.

Don't they have tugs for this kind of thing?

7 crew on a CRJ-700. Service must be great!
