Viral: Fired Airport Worker Destroys Plane

What this video that you see above shows, is a fired airport worker using a digger to destroy a Yakovlev Yak-40 three-engined airplane that was parked at the airport he used to work at.

Well, that's the story the person who posted the video wants you to believe. Is it actually true? Well the video is quite real, and it does show the Yak-40 belonging to UTair, a Russian airliner being demolished.

However, what it doesn't tell you is that UTair stopped using the plane quite a long while back and the plane was just getting scrapped at a salvage yard instead which does seem like the real story as the jet engines used to fly the plane look to have already been repurposed.

Whatever story is true, we still don't know but one thing we do know is that the aircraft didn't have a chance in hell of surviving that big claw.
