On Tuesday, 74 passengers were forced off a plane that had frozen in -61 degree temperatures in the remote Siberian town of Igarka. The passengers disembarked to help loosen the weight of the aircraft, where they then volunteered to push it to safety.

According to CNN, the plane and passengers were able to later fly and land in Krasnoyarsk, a city south of Igarka, several hours later.
