A plane lost large quantities of a £265 million cargo of diamonds, platinum and gold as they rained on a runway upon take off in Siberia.
The treasures fell out of a loose hatch in the plane’s hold and fell over the runway and a swathe of Yakutia, Russia.
The hatch came off near a car market but luckily no one was injured.
After discovering it had been dropping the valuables, the Krasnoyarsk-bound aircraft made an emergency landing at Magan.
“The Nimbus Airlines AN-12 cargo plane hit problems during takeoff and the treasures fell out of the hold all over the runway,” reported The Siberian Times .
“The plane then dropped some bars of gold as far as 15 miles from the airport.”
