A truck carrying a decommissioned plane got stuck under a bridge in Bihar, causing a major traffic jam.

Social media sparked discussions about the incident, questioning the truck driver’s skills and the road system’s management.
Aircraft stuck under bridge: How did that happen?
In recent years, India’s roads have gotten better with the addition of many bridges and elevated roads. These structures help transportation, but sometimes they cause problems for big trucks carrying heavy things like planes and machinery. A recent incident in Bihar’s East Champaran district showed a truck getting stuck under a bridge while carrying a decommissioned plane from Mumbai to Assam. This caused a big traffic jam on the national highway.

Authorities came to help around 9 am and used methods to deflate the truck’s tires and remove it safely. A similar thing happened last November in Andhra Pradesh, where a plane got stuck under an underpass while going from Kochi to Hyderabad. Usually, there are signs showing how high the bridges are, but this one didn’t have them. The police mentioned that the truck was removed without any damage, but they’ll check the bridge for cracks or damage before opening the road again.
People shared pictures and videos of the incident on social media, and many had opinions. Some blamed the truck driver for not being careful, while others talked about how the government and police handled the situation. After about three hours, the traffic jam cleared, but it’s not clear if the truck driver got into trouble or if the plane parts were damaged.
Moving big things like planes is not easy. You need big trucks and skilled drivers to do it safely.
