Driver abandons plane in India

May 4 - An abandoned Boeing 737 in a busy suburb of India's western Mumbai blocks traffic and causes havoc.

Residents were more than a little surprised to find the giant visitor in their midst after a truck driver hauling it to New Delhi abandoned it.

No efforts have been made to move it and while traffic is snarling up locals have found it a fascinating intruder.
