There was terror on a Russian flight today when an An-26 plane’s rear door sprang open soon after takeoff in the world’s coldest region.
Hats belonging to the 25 passengers flew off their heads and vanished into the cold air as the cabin depressurised.
Most luggage belonging to passengers was sucked out of the plane’s door when it burst open, said later reports.
A video shows the visible gaping rear door on the IrAero Antonov aircraft, which had taken off from Magan in the region of Yakutsk, eastern Siberia, in minus 41C cold.
The passenger filming the video is in a rear seat on the plane, bound for Magadan on Russia’s Pacific coast.
