In a bid to prevent an airplane from flying, a couple has done the unthinkable after they missed their flight.

In some photos making rounds online, a couple who missed their flight were pictured squatting on the runway with their luggage in a bid to prevent the plane from taking off.


According to a report by China Daily, the husband and wife were booked on a Air China flight from Beijing, China, to the eastern port city of Shanghai at 9.30am on Saturday.

The couple arrived at the boarding gate after it had already closed, leaving them stranded at Beijing Capital International Airport, and in their desperate bid to make their flight, the wife allegedly dragged her husband through the gate, 'knocking down' several employees in the process.
