Boeing 737 Stuck on Busy Mumbai Road

by Justin Glow (RSS feed) on May 3rd 2007 at 6:30PM

Just when you thought Mumbai couldn't get any more hectic, someone comes along and leaves a Boeing 737 sitting in the middle of a busy road. BBC reports, "The decommissioned aircraft was being driven through the city at the weekend when the driver got lost and then abandoned the plane."

Is this for real? Seriously, how can you put one person in charge of transporting a 737? Never mind the fact that he didn't know his way around the city very well. It's no wonder Road Junky listed Bombay as one of the 10 worst cities to visit (even though I completely disagree, Bombay is great -- even with the lost plane). Bizarre, but true.
