The incident happened when a trailer truck was transporting a fuselage (main body) of a commercial jet liner with the driver trying to decipher what has happened and later looked out for ways to take the stuck airplane out.
According to the video shared by Chinese news agency Xinhua, the airplane was being transported after it was disassembled.
According to the news agency, the driver of the trailer truck had to deflate the tyres of his vehicle after which the airplane was taken out. The entire procedure has left people on social media bursting out in laughter.
The deflating of the tyres helped lower the entire setup and created space between the airplane body and the base of the bridge.
As reported, experts said that the method used to get the stuck airplane out could work because the tyres of trailer trucks are usually very high.
Later the driver had to re-inflate the tyres so that he could transport the plane to its destination.

An unbelievable idiot.
Sometimes biggest of d problems are solved just by letting out some air😆

Some even said that why the driver/planner did not check the route before transporting the airplane.
Why the driver/planners did not check the path and verified that the thing will be transportable by truck?

Whoever planned the transport route should be fired for not checking underpass heights against the combined height of the fuselage and trailer.

I first heard of this trick when a load was stuck in the entrance of the Lincoln Tunnel(?) In NY. A young girl dreamed up the solution.
I think a witty driver wouldn't have gotten it stuck there in the first place...

Some social media users were also inquisitive about the damage, which the fuselage might have sustained.
How much damage did the fuselage sustain from the initial act of getting stuck?
