Watch: Video Of Passengers Pushing Plane Off Runway After Tyre Burst At Nepal Airport Is Going Viral
According to a report, the rear tyre of the aircraft burst on the runway, which prompted the passenger to get down and push the plane away from the landing strip.
A very unusual video of passengers pushing a plane off the runway is going viral on the internet. These passengers at an airport in Nepal were filmed pushing the Tara Air plane on Wednesday.
According to Nepal News, the plane's rear tyre burst while landing at Bajura Airport in Kolti, because of which it was unable to move off the runway. The plane was about to land at the airport when its rear tyre burst. Although the pilot was able to make emergency manoeuvres to land the aircraft safely, he was not able to move it off the runway.

The entire event caused delays in the airport as another plane flying overhead was unable to land because the taxiway was blocked by the stranded aircraft. That's when the passengers and airport staff stepped in.
Footage of this entire instance was shared on Twitter. The footage showed a group of about 20 people working together to move the aeroplane off the runway.¡°Probably only in our Nepal (translated from Nepali)¡± one Twitter user wrote while sharing the video on the microblogging platform.

Ignorant ppl are making fun of #TaraAir 's video after a burst tire, can happen to any airline, but this is more fault of @hello_CAANepal who do not have required ground equipment in STOL airports it operates. They charge airlines good money but don't provide the service needed. https://t.co/nWnYy2lASg

There are 2 peoples who are rolling the plane tyre as well ;-)
The other plane was able to land safely after the Tara Air plane was successfully moved out of the way. The plane's punctured tyre was also replaced shortly afterwards.
Honestly, anything is truly possible.
