Scrapped Air India plane gets stuck underneath foot overbridge near Delhi airport

报废的印度航空飞机卡在德里机场附近的人行天桥下

NEW DELHI: A video went viral on social media on Sunday morning, showing an Air India plane stuck underneath a foot overbridge on the Delhi-Gurugram highway outside the Delhi airport, leaving people perplexed as to how the plane got there.

新德里：周日上午，一段视频在社交媒体上疯传，视频显示，一架印度航空公司的飞机卡在德里机场外德里-古鲁格拉姆高速公路的天桥下，不知这飞机是怎么到这里的，令人困惑。

However, the airline confirmed there was no mishap involved, with the plane being an old, scrapped aircraft which has been sold by Air India and was being transported by the plane’s owner.

然而，该航空公司证实没有发生事故，这架飞机是一架报废的旧飞机，印度航空公司已经将其卖出

“This is an old, scrapped aircraft which has already been sold off by us. There is no additional information as it involves the person to whom it has been sold off,” said an Air India spokesperson.

印度航空公司的一位发言人说：“这是一架报废的旧飞机，我们已经卖掉了。不方便提供其他信息，因为涉及到买家。”

In the video, vehicles can be seen passing through one side of the highway while the other side appears to largely be blocked via the aircraft.

在视频中，可以看到高速公路的一侧有车辆通过，而另一侧似乎被飞机挡住了。

The nose of the aircraft and half of its body has also crossed underneath the foot overbridge before the top half gets stuck.

飞机的上半部分被卡住，机头和机身的一半已经穿过了天桥。

A Delhi airport official, when contacted, also said no flight or active aircraft had been involved in an incident.

记者联系到德里机场的一名官员时，他也表示，没有发生事故。

“The aircraft certainly does not belong to the Delhi airport’s fleet and in the video, it is being transported without any wings. It appears to be a scrapped plane and the driver may have made a judgement of error while transporting it,” the official said.

这位官员说：“这架飞机肯定不属于德里机场的机队，视频显示，它没有机翼。这似乎是一架报废的飞机，司机可能在运输过程中做出了误判。”

In a similar incident in 2019, a truck carrying an abandoned India Post aircraft had got stuck under a bridge in West Bengal’s Durgapur, with the driver being unable to judge the height of the bridge correctly.

在2019年发生的一起类似事件中，一辆载有印度邮政一架废弃飞机的卡车被卡在西孟加拉邦德拉加普尔的一座桥下，司机没能准确判断桥的高度。

status of Air India today, literally

卡住了，这也正是印度航空目前的处境

Kvs Sarma

scrapped and stuck!

报废、卡住了!

Nemar Naidoo

Tata bought it, maybe

也许塔塔买下了印度航空

Suresh Chopra

This is a classic picture of Air India under a heavy debt of 25000 crores- The bridge just represents that only.This bridge is like a shroud before its unceremonial burial about to happen any day!!

印度航空公司负债2500亿卢比，这飞机卡在桥下就是印航处境的真实写照。这座桥就像裹尸布！

J Rey

Astonishing! Isn't the incident being played down .. by stating that it's a sold aircraft ?

Has it been sold..

What about the traffic issues this must be causing on that street?

震惊！这么轻描淡写吗，说这是一架已经被售出的旧飞机就完事了？这对那条路上的交通造成了什么影响?

Nemar Naidoo

Citizens of Delhi are used to the inconvenience of traffic jams with the farmers' protest, this one will be easier to deals with than the farmer's protest.

德里市民已经习惯了农民抗议导致的交通堵塞带来的不便，这事比农民抗议更容易处理。

Ra Mon

They could carefully deflate the tires of the carrier vehicle and once it gets free, after towing below the over-bridge, reinflate the tires.

他们可以把拖车的轮胎放气，把车拖过天桥，再给轮胎充气。

Suresh Chopra

This infact is the ‘True picture’ of Air IndiaAll these 75 years Air India bleeded the Public Exchequer.Its accumulated losses of 25000 Crores at least.

75年来，印度航空榨干了国库的钱，造成的累计损失至少为2500亿卢比。

India

Reminds me of Family man season 2 scenario where the fighter jet is transported by road

这让我想起了《绝世好爸》第二季中，在公路上运输战斗机的场景

Ramesh Sargam

Was it 'stolen' from the airport by thieves like bikes and other vehicles?

是不是被小偷从机场“偷走”的?

Sush K

if sold, Air India logo should have been erased! or is this a new divestment method.

如果卖了，印度航空的标志应该抹去啊，或者这是一种新的撤资方式。

Modiji my PM

Someone wanted it taken home, but got struck. What a luck.

有人想把它带回家，但被卡住了，真倒霉。

Modiji my PM

What a screwed excuse by AI spokesman. Idiot he has screwed the bridge over it. What type of guys work for AI?

印航发言人的借口真蹩脚。这毁了上面的桥。印航的员工都是什么人啊?

Kvs Sarma

thorough investigation required of who authorized this scrap sale.

需要彻查是谁批准卖这架飞机的。

Kvs Sarma

looting of leftovers started already before it is handed over to the private sector.

在移交给私营部门之前，开始把能卖的都卖了。

Kvs Sarma

it must be blocking the highway too, which the presstitute conveniently omitted to mention. The persons responsible should be arrested for public safety hazard.

一定也把高速公路堵了，都没有提到。应以危害公共安全罪逮捕相关责任人。

Kvs Sarma

entire plane sold to a scrap picker?!

整架飞机卖给了一个拾荒者？！

Guest

Thank God it's sold

谢天谢地，卖出去了
