Video: Plane gets stuck under bridge – News

Commuters on a China road encountered a hilarious sight – an airplane stuck under a footbridge and workers trying relentlessly to free the airbus.

The plane was being transported on a trailer truck when it got stuck under a low lying footbridge. The video of the incident went viral, leaving netizens in splits as it shows the fuselage of the disassembled airplane stuck while the driver tries to figure out a way to take it out.

In order to let the plane pass from under footbridge without any damage, the driver had to deflate the tires of the trailer, according to reports in China Xinhua News quoted in India Today.

Experts later said the method worked because the trailer truck’s tyres were huge, which when deflated, created more space for the airplane to pass.

The driver re-inflated the tyres so that the airplane could be successfully transported to its location, reports added.

Although the driver managed to free the airplane, he certainly became a laughing stock on Twitter after the video went viral.
