We should be discussing no-engine planes, since they are obviously safer in such situations.

Yes, why would we put those polluting and noisy engines on the plane?

The passengers could just take turns going out and pushing.

Bicycle pedals at every seat. Maybe with a deadman interlock so that if you stop pedalling your seat falls out of the plane.
