From USAToday. The title caught my eye:

"The hatch of a Nimbus Airlines AN-12 cargo plane opened after experiencing issues during takeoff in Yakutsk in eastern Siberia, the Siberian Times reported. The plane was carrying about nine tons of gold and other precious metals, the Interior Ministry told Russia's Tass news agency. "


Wonder where all that was headed....
