The Boeing 737 stuck in city road

Residents of the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay) are wondering how long it will take to remove a disused Boeing 737 that has been abandoned in a busy road.
The decommissioned aircraft was being driven through the city at the weekend when the driver got lost and then abandoned the plane.

[...]
The driver has not been seen since and no-one is assuming responsibility for the 737.

[...]
However, for Pradeep Malhotra, who runs a catering service in the area, the plane has become a huge problem because it is parked right in front of his shop.

"I don't know how they are going to take it out because you can't reverse it, its too big, and you can't go further down the road."

Maybe they have to airlift it out, maybe they'll just leave it. Could provide shelter for a few homeless.

Also typical attitude of the driver: if problems amount too much, run away!

To settle who is responsible could take court cases and years.

Meanwhile it is becoming a tourist attraction.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. Thanks for the laugh.

There is an update on the page you provided a link to.The plane was removed by trailer after the wings were removed.

Sorry AD, I think you read the link a little too quick.


I hardly think they could move it around in any city with the wings on.

And sorry again, there's no update of the link. Last paragraph still reads..
