Nepal: plane punctures a wheel on runway, passengers get out and push! [Video]

How many times have I been stuck in the car with a flat tire, especially when I lived near the countryside. Armed with patience, I would take the faithful jack And I would change the wheel with the wheel of escort. Whereas, when it happened with the moped, it was taken to boost all the way to the tire shop.

What if it happens to an airplane? In Nepal we get a push anyway!

Foreword: the wheels on airliners are clearly not the same as our cars or even like those on trucks, they are very ma much stronger and performance. They are composed of a "double rubber," a reinforced chamber and a belted tread.

They are designed to withstand the very strong traction that aircraft experience on landing, can withstand more than 38 tons and are changed every 600-800 landings, depending on the type of aircraft. Different discussion, however, for the more small, light aircraft or contained charter planes, in which case the wheels are more like truck wheels.

Aircraft like the one that was pushed by passengers at an airport in Nepal, here is the video that went viral:

The small charter plane was on the runway at Bajura Airport in Kolti in the Nepal Western. According to witnesses, the plane's single rear wheel is burst during the landing, fortunately none of the passengers were injured or damaged, but the plane could no longer taxi off the runway.

What to do? Simple, the passengers got out to push and helped the plane go into the hangar for the repair. In fact, in the small airport there were no equipment adequate to clear the runway and had to act fast because another plane was in tail To land.

In Siberia, on the other hand, it goes to -50°.

A similar event happened in Siberia, at the Igarka airport, this time, however, not because of a flat tire but because the oil in the landing gear had icy because of the temperatures below zero And the plane was unable to move.

See the video:

Temperatures in Siberia are glacial, airports are in fact equipped for such events as thermal blankets on the wheels or antifreeze always at hand.

"The problems at the start were caused by the weather conditions, particularly the extremely low air temperature that is typical for this part of the Krasnoyarsk region and sometimes reaches as low as minus 50 degrees Celsius.

While the plane was parked at Igarka Airport, its landing gear got stuck on the airport surface. To quickly solve this problem, passengers helped the tow truck move the plane."

UTair spokesman to CNN

After the nudge and the thawing of the undercarriage, the plane took off as planned, in the arrival city the temperatures were better, only -11°...
