By The Siberian Times reporter15 March 2018 “Gems and precious metals rain over Russia’s coldest region as police and secret services stage emergency search. Police sealed off the runway and a vast search is underway The plane with ten tons of gold, platinum and diamonds lost part of its cargo after taking off from Yakutsk airport today. More rained down as the aircraft gained height. The Nimbus Airlines AN-12 cargo plane hit problems during takeoff; the treasures fell out of the hold all over the runway. The plane then dropped some bars of gold as far as 26 kilometres from the airport. The crew decided to land at the nearby airport of Magan, some 26 kilometres north-west of Yakutsk. Police sealed off the runway and a vast search is underway.” They’re already in Siberia. Where do they send you when you fuck up in Siberia?Photos accompany article if you open it. http://siberiantimes.com/other...diamonds-on-takeoff/ | ||

I am sure it was a complete accident.  "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women. When it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it....While it lies there, it needs no constitution, no law, no court to save it" - Judge Learned Hand, May 1944 | |||

Yakutsk? That was a risk. "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye". The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, pilot and author, lost on mission, July 1944, Med Theatre. | |||

I see what you did there.  Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

On the one hand you think - I wish I was there the day the gold fell from the sky. On the other hand getting hit by a falling gold ingot would probably be fatal! | |||

From the photos, it looks like the bottom fell out of the marke... err I mean, plane. Looks like the weight was loaded right on the skin rather than supporting it on structural members. MOO means NO! Be the comet! | |||
