The jet is seen stranded on the Delhi-Gurugram highway in the footage, prompting Air India to clarify that the plane was destroyed and sold by the company.
"Under any circumstances, there is no link with the aircraft," Air India stated.
According to BBC the scrapped plane, which had reportedly been sold off, was being transported when it got stuck. The video shows traffic passing by the plane whose wings appear to have been removed.
The airplane did not block all traffic on the route. In the video, vehicles can be seen passing on one side of the highway, while the other side appears to be largely blocked by the plane.
However, it didn’t stop jokes on social media.
My life stuck like this ?

This is like the kind of stuff that would appear when I get dreams where there’s a train running on the road and I’m scared.
