Furious airport worker smashes plane after 'being fired by employer' (Photos)

A man allegedly lost his temper after being told he was no longer employed at the Russian airport. He allegedly smashed up an aeroplane after being fired by his employer.

In a clip posted on Live Leak,a large digger is seen smashing into the aircraft several times, ripping a large hole in the bodywork.

The aircraft appears to be a Yak-40 - a small, three-engined airliner - that seems to belong to UTair.

Reports suggest the man operating the digger was an employee of Russian airline UTair and was taking revenge on the company after being told his employment had been terminated.
