Passengers of a plane in Nepal had to get out and push the aircraft off the runway after one its tyres burst, the Daily Mail of UK reported.
Passengers on the 19-seater plane were filmed guiding the Tara Air plane to safety after it became stuck on the runway at Bajura Airport in Kolti last week.
The De Havilland Canada DHC-6-300 Twin Otter plane was coming in to land when it had a tyre burst.
The pilot managed to touch down safely but the airport had no infrastructure to drag the plane off the runway, meaning the aircraft was stranded and causing a traffic jam.
