Watch: A plane is cruising down a highway until it gets stuck under a bridge
2021-10-05 00:00:00
An out-of-commission Air India plane in Delhi was trucking down a highway on a flat bed when it tried to squeeze under a highway overpass. But no such luck. You can see sliced chunks of the plane flying in all directions before the it gets completely stuck.
And according to a few Twitter comments (of second tweet below by @Ashok_Raj), the plane stayed in its wedged position for at least a few days.
Just by chance, a passenger in another car happened to catch it all on video:
@airindiain on 24-09-21, I was on my way back home and saw this aircraft loaded on a trailer, so out of curiosity i recorded a video which is now turned into an unexpected moment…i was shocked and really didn't expected that this was gonna happen#avion #aviation #aeroplane pic.twitter.com/sGPyFkOEdp — Rishabh Kumar (@_Rishabhkumar__) October 3, 2021
Here it is in its final pose:
