Passengers Push Plane In Below Freezing Weather

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

In Arctic Russia this week, airline passengers got out and pushed a stuck plane. An amateur video captured the bundled passengers giving it their all in minus-60 degrees, though a tractor is also visible likely doing the real work. And the airport director sniffed, they just wanted a selfie. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
