A plane took off with gold bars; then a hatch broke
The runway at the Yakutsk airport in Siberia was a good place to be today.
A Canadian mining company was shipping out about 200 bars of gold and silver earlier today when their was a problem. Someone didn't properly secure the airplane hatch and about 200 bars weighing 20 kg each fell out of the plane onto the runway.
At today's prices, a 20 kg pure gold bar would be worth about $8.5 million.
According to reports, police quickly sealed off the area and all the gold and silver was recovered. An investigation is underway.
