Nineteen people were removed from an easyjet holiday flight from Lanzarote because the plane was "too heavy to take off".
Passengers had boarded and were due to depart at 9.45pm on Wednesday when the the captain made the shock announcement and asked for volunteers to disembark. He went on to explain the problem was a result of a short runway, weight and adverse weather conditions.
Video footage of the announcement shows passengers muttering and shaking their heads at the news, but fortunately enough passengers offered to volunteer so the majority could get home, the Liverpool Echo reports.
