The aircraft, a Tupolev-134 plane, was stuck because the pilot forgot to take off the parking brake, which froze up after the temperature dropped to minus 61 degrees Fahrenheit Tuesday morning, prosecutors said.
"Due to the low air temperatures, the chassis's brake system froze and a tow truck was unable to move the plane onto the taxiway to carry out the flight," they said in a statement.
"The passengers on board got out of the plane and started pushing it onto the taxiway."
