The incident  occurred during take-off. Images circulated on  social media appear to show gold bars littered across the ground at the   airport in the eastern Yakutia region. Acting as a deterrent to  light-fingered looters, men in luminous jackets can also be seen  standing guard over the fallen treasure trove. Ruptly was among the  first to capture footage of the valuables inside the damaged jet after  the incident.A Nimbus Airlines An-12 plane was carrying more than nine tons of  material belonging to the Mining and Geological Company in the  neighboring Chukotka region, Russia’s Investigative Committee confirmed  Thursday. The unsecured cargo fell from the back of the plane when the  hatch opened during take-off. The offending hatch then detached from the  plane and fell on a local auto market. No one was injured in the  incident.Yakutsk Airport insists  that the plane was operational and was ready for the flight. After  leaving its cargo on the runway, the plane made a successful landing in  the nearby Magan Airport. The investigative committee did not disclose  the nature of the lost metal but Russia’s eastern region is famous for  its gold mines and diamond production.<img src="https://cdni.rt.com/files/2018.03/original/5aaa3200fc7e93080a8b45f3.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Local residents were hit with ‘gold fever’ after receiving news of  the blunder, according to local media reports. A map containing detailed  directions to the treasure site was circulated online. However, a law enforcement source told TASS that all the bars have been collected.Excited  by the prospect of a gold rush, social media users were soon joking  about braving sub-zero temperatures in search of an unclaimed gold bar. “Is there anyone from Yakutsk? Let’s rush to the airport! There is gold!” a user wrote under hashtag #Yakutskgold. “Siri, find tickets for the next flight from Moscow to Yakutsk,” another joked.“I wish I were in Yakutsk,” one wistful social media user wrote, while another joked that Yakutia is such a rich region that “gold just pours from the sky.”</blockquote>
