Passengers in Russia give airliner a push

MOSCOW -- In other countries, you may be asked to give a push to a car stuck in the mud. In Russia, passengers in the Arctic came out of an airliner into bitter cold to help it move to the runway. A Russian-made jet with 74 oil workers aboard was due to fly when the plane couldn't move onto the runway because of ice. It was minus-61 degrees outside. Several dozen men were seen in an amateur video pushing the plane by leaning on both wings.
