VIDEO: Passengers jump start plane after landing gear freezes

Passengers due to take a flight in Siberia had to get out and push the aircraft after its landing gear froze solid.

The plane was trying to take off from the Russian town of Igarka, but was unable to move after the temperature fell to minus 52 degrees celsius.

Passengers on board the flight, many of them shift workers, apparently offered to lend a hand, fearing that otherwise their journey home would be delayed,

The Katekavia airline flight later took off and landed safely at its destination.
