i wonder what aeroplane they'll use?

obvious choice would be a Boeing 737, or even a 727 - but if they plan to do BIG - i wonder if it'll be a Tristar? :-?

possibly a Russian type?

first I thought they had just run it over concrete blocks of some kind - but there is definately smoke/dust or an explosion of some kind before it gets to them,
