Oh the irony!
A drinking party in Russia allegedly boarded a light plane and set off, never to be seen again—at least they're searching. It's not absolutley clear as to whether the pilot was one of the revellers or completely sober, but since everyone in Russia is a raving alcoholic enjoys a good party, let's assume the worst.
Anyhow, of the remaining good time fellas on board the plane, four were in the town of Serov's traffic department, including the chief of traffic police. Presumably it's okay to be (drunk) in charge of a vehicle full of drunkards, just as long as it's not on the roads!
