Boeing 737 found abandoned on Mumbai street
The plane was being driven through Chembur at the weekend when the driver got lost, realised he was nearing a low flyover, panicked and abandoned his cargo. He has disappeared and no one is taking responsibility.
Some say it is a tourist attraction. Vamsi Shastri, an engineering student, told BBC News, "I've been fascinated with planes and never seen one so closely. It's huge." If nobody claims it a a local businessman said he plans to buy the plane and convert it to an amusement centre.
It is still not clear who is responsible for the aircraft. Some homeless men even found the cargo hold of the plane good enough to be used as a makeshift kitchen. And some even strung a clothesline.
IMO: When space exploration gets underway perhaps old space ships, lost robotic dogs and even matter transmitters will be found on the Mumbai streets. It would be a good place for a straying intergalactic cow to go, though some might prefer a quieter outer suburb like Vasai.
