Passengers Have To Push Broken Plane Off Runway

Ghetto alert! You may want to think again about flying with this budget airline the next time you are traveling in China. After this CRJ-700 became disabled on the runway following its landing at Zhengzhou, the airline had no way of getting it off the runway and to the terminal. At first the crew from the Shandong Airlines flight and some airport staff tried to push it by themselves (yeah right). When that literally got them nowhere, passengers from the flight came to the rescue to help push the 20 ton beast 1,000 yards from where it died on the runway over toward the terminal building. It only took them two hours, too! I guess they've never heard of a tug and towbar in Zhengzhou?
