Sumo wrestlers squeeze into plane
A photograph of 29 huge Sumo wrestlers crammed into a small propeller-powered plane is proving a viral hit online.
The sportsmen were being flown to a training camp in Okinoshima, a Japanese island in the Shimane Prefecture.
And their relief when they landed was short lived - as they were then transferred to an equally cramped bus, reports The Mirror.
The wrestlers belong to the Hakkaku stable, in Tokyo, whose Twitter account shared the pictures showing them going through check out before boarding the plane.
It said, with slight understatement, that the plane "was packed tightly".
When they were all seated on the plane, it added: "This is what it's like now. We are cramped."
