What happens if you land somewhere abroad and have forgotten your passport?

This made my day

A quick anecdote: friend of a friend flies for Cathay Pacific, and years ago (Tokyo-London?) they had to divert to a Russian airport for some mechanical problem. With their ICAO ‘Crew’ cards the pilots and cabin crew sailed through the airport and spent the night in a hotel, but 99% of the passengers didn’t have a Russian passport or visa so couldn’t leave and spent the night sleeping on the floor in a kind of holding room.
