A reported 200 bars of gold and other precious metals have scattered across an airport runway in Russia after a cargo plane door broke off upon takeoff.
Strong winds blew off the Nimbus Airline An-12 cargo plane door upon takeoff from Yakutsk Airport, airport officials told Interfax on Thursday.
After the incident, the plane crew made an emergency landing in a village airport some 12 kilometers from Yakutsk.

Here comes The Curse of dropped Russian Gold.It seems the guys at Oak Island could use an air drop of some Russian gold about now. They could "plant" some and then fence some.
Then they could say, "See!? We told you!"

They’ll just land at the next runway, and paint some lead brick gold and no one will know the difference.

OI is a massive let down. I wonder how many more millions they will throw into the money pit. Some already think that some of their finds are planted.

I’ve followed this story and every attempt since I was 10 years old. I was really hopeful that this group finally had it nailed. Guess not.
