In a whimsical twist reminiscent of a cartoon, the endeavor to transport a scrap aeroplane took an unexpected and humorous turn in Bihar’s Motihari, resulting in an abrupt pause beneath a bridge and creating a notable disruption in traffic.
The metallic avian passenger, hitching a ride on a trailer truck from Mumbai to Assam, found itself grounded after misjudging the clearance under a bridge in the Piprakothi area. Traffic screeched to a stop as the bewildered plane perched precariously, its wings nearly brushing the concrete ceiling.
News of the airborne roadblock swiftly spread, drawing in curious onlookers and evolving into an instant viral sensation. Online videos depicted long lines of vehicles patiently awaiting the liberation of the grounded flyer.
Upon the authorities’ prompt arrival at the scene, a quick diagnosis pinpointed the issue – a miscalculation on the part of the truck driver who had overestimated the underpass height. Fortunately, the plane and its chariot were swiftly disengaged, continuing their journey and leaving behind a trail of amusement and a cautionary tale about miscalculations related to bridges.
This peculiar convergence of the sky and the road is not a solitary incident. Just last November, Andhra Pradesh witnessed a similar spectacle when another scrap plane found itself stuck under a bridge, underscoring that, occasionally, even grounded birds can take flight in the realm of unusual occurrences.
