From the front page of South African Sunday Times Sept 28 2008:
How lovely and welcome to life in China!
Coming down to earth with a bang took on a new meaning for 69 Chinese passengers this week - they were asked to disembark and help push their stranded plane, The Shandong Airlines aircraft broke down before it taxied to the passenger terminal at Zhengzhou Airport. Staff tried to push the aircraft but it would not budge. With the added muscle of the passengers, it took almost two hours to push the plane to a taxi way.
What happened to a good old motorised tow?
As usual nothing fails to amaze me!
