As if Mumbai didn't have enough traffic problems, a Boeing 737 jet was left abandoned on a busy street, only to mysteriously disappear several days later.
The decommissioned aircraft was being driven through the city on its way to a Delhi flight school when the driver took a wrong turn on got stuck. The plane remained on the street for several days, attracting onlookers, but blocking businesses and traffic. It finally vanished several days later, though it is not clear who has moved it or where it has been taken.
"I'm thrilled to see that it is gone," one woman, Shaila Kachare, told the BBC News website. "Life's back to normal."
