Workers seen pushing a plane out of the water at the Yantai airport in Shandong Province on Sunday. Record rainstorms had plagued the city since Wednesday and a strong downpour Sunday led to the suspension of the airport, which saw 50-cm-deep water on the parking apron and 15-cm-deep water at the airport lunge. The airport was reopened yesterday morning after the water was drained by 11 pumps. Six people were killed in Qingdao and Rizhao by rainstorms, which pounded most parts of the province in the past few days. CFP
