The Boeing 737 stuck in city road
Residents of the Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay) are wondering how long it will take to remove a disused Boeing 737 that has been abandoned in a busy road.

The decommissioned aircraft was being driven through the city at the weekend when the driver got lost and then abandoned the plane.

The Boeing used to belong to the private company Air Sahara.

Some locals are angry that no action is being taken to move the plane. Others say it is a tourist attraction.

It appears that after taking a wrong turn, the driver found himself facing a flyover that was too low for him to take the plane under.

The driver has not been seen since and no-one is assuming responsibility for the 737.

"I don't know how they are going to take it out because you can't reverse it, its too big, and you can't go further down the road."



Some residents said they had not complained simply because they assumed that the authorities would be making it a priority to get the plane out of the city.



Five days on, it is still not clear who is responsible for the aircraft and its transfer to Delhi.
