    Flight service

    When a plane was stuck in a Zhengzhou airport, they sent 30 people to push it off the runway.

    It took them nearly two hours to push the CRJ7 plane, with 69 passengers and seven-strong crew on board, less than half a mile to a side lane.

    The link includes a photo:

    I suppose the next thing they were going to do included attaching a bunch of helium filled ballons to the wings and having someone sit on the tail section with a fan to control their direction. Those Chinese, they are so innovative.

    How do you solve unemployment with that many people? This is a good example.......I saw a Ted Koppel special that showed a bunch of guys with shovels and buckets building a huge interstate highway. Gotta keep em busy somehow!

    "It took them nearly two hours to push the CRJ7 plane, with 69 passengers and seven-strong crew on board, less than half a mile to a side lane"

    Here's an idea. How about you get a bus and a ladder, take at least the 69 passengers off the plane so they don't have to endure this 2 hr cluster-f, and at the same time, save yourselves a few tons worth of push-able weight?
