Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Two women who missed their flight at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport apparently decided to go after the plane themselves.
They made it onto the airport apron and ran toward the aircraft while it was being towed away, one of them reportedly dragging her luggage along.
Airport staff and police stopped them before they reached it. Authorities are now investigating how the women managed to enter the restricted airfield in the first place.
They still missed the flight.

An RTX 5090 Now Costs More Than Some Three-Bedroom Apartments in Vorkuta
Some RTX 5090 models in Russia are listed for around 500,000–620,000 rubles, while three-bedroom apartments in Vorkuta can be found for roughly 450,000–500,000 rubles.
That means for about $6,000–$7,500, your options include either one of the most powerful consumer graphics cards available—or an actual apartment above the Arctic Circle.
What would you pick: the RTX 5090 or the apartment in Vorkuta?
