Watch An Airplane Get Can Opener'd And Stuck Under A Bridge In India
Watch An Airplane Get Can Opener'd And Stuck Under A Bridge In India-May 2024

Most of our s are courtesy of , and involve conventional trucks. That’s part of what makes this one so special: it’s in India, and it involves not just a truck, but an actual aircraft, an once operated by Air India. The plane seems to have been , even. Oh boy.

Here’s the video, shot by a passing motorist around a Delhi airport, near Gurugram (according to one of the comments):

I think the truck being used is one of those Tata long-haul trucks Even for one of those, which tend to drag around pretty massive and bulky loads, this aircraft is an unusually large burden.

Here’s some video of the plane, cozily wedged under the bridge, looking like some sort of art installation:

The plane has been identified by a sharp-eyed commenter, who found the same registration number on this Air India plane, seen here in better days:

Air India issued a statement distancing themselves from the incident, as the aircraft had been scrapped and sold to a new owner:

“Air India has got no connection whatsoever with the aircraft under any circumstances.”

Jeez, Air India, no need to be so touchy.

The also noted that this was not the first time an Air India plane has been stuck under a bridge, with another decommissioned aircraft getting stuck under a bridge in West Bengal back in 2019. Practice makes perfect!

Let this be a lesson, people! When hauling your decommissioned passenger aircraft, always double check the bridge heights and the height of your rig before you set out! How many more PSAs do you need to remind you?

I Entered My Lifted Miata In A Real Off-Road Race, Here's What Happened
