A truck carrying a decommissioned India Post aircraft found itself trapped under a bridge in Durgapur, West Bengal, after apparently failing to account for the size of its cargo.

The Boeing B737 aircraft had been languishing at Kolkata airport for several years after being grounded. But the plan to transport the abandoned aircraft to a scrap yard went terribly awry while the truck carrying the plane was passing under a bridge.
