20 People Push Garuda Indonesia Plane Pushed Onto Runway After Wrong Turn

A Garuda Indonesia plane had to have a little help getting back on the runway at Tambolaka Airport in SJakarta. After the plane missed a turn after landing, around 20 technicians and airport employees had to run to its aid and push it backward by hand when no pushback tractor was available.

Onlookers initially thought that the plane was having mechanical problems. But once they maneuvered the plane — no easy feat, the Bombardier CRJ1000 jet has a maximum landing weight of 81,500 lbs — back into position, it continued on without further incident.
