Something similar happened in 2013.

There's a place at the Murtala Muhammed Airport that is known as the Airplane Graveyard. That is where planes were abandoned for many years. FAAN gave the owners of the abandoned planes a deadline to remove them. The owners of one of the disused planes sold it to Captain Ekeinde (Omotola's husband) who wanted to start an aviation school in Badagry. The plane was being towed to Badagry when the tow truck developed a fault near a petrol station in Igando. A rumour immediately spread that a plane had crashed in Igando. I had to post a correction on the Nairaland thread.

A plane was being towed on a Lagos road a few years later and there was another rumour of a plane crash. Some people on that thread said that it was only in Nigeria that a plane could be towed on an expressway and I showed them that it happens around the world (for example, a plane that was being towed in India got stuck beneath a bridge).

When u said Nigeria isn't the only place where planes are towed on highways, i was hoping to see England , USA, canada, etc & not india ..

Who can join me let's come together and buy one of these and start an adventurous spot. It will make a whole lot of sense.

Good God in heaven! So what you are trying to tell me is that China, India, Singapore are not other parts of the world or that they do not exist?

OK, here is an example from California. A plane that was being towed on a California highway tipped over and fell on the median.

This is a time lapse video of the Space Shuttle Endeavour being towed across Los Angeles.

Note that the Space Shuttle is many times bigger than a regular airliner.

A tech entrepreneur in the UK bought an old plane and decided to convert it into his office. There were traffic jams as the plane was being towed to the office location, but the truck and plane had police motorcycle escort to clear the way for them. At a point the plane got stuck because of a "Give Way" traffic sign.

Here is a video of the plane being towed round a roundabout.

(Many people have bought old planes and converted them into offices, houses, restaurants and other such facilities).

The video shows the plane being transported how will they call that a crash.

Despite the fact that they transported it at night possibly to avoid such news by bloggers. Nawa.

boolet:
I no know say dem dey waybill plane oo. Lol

Is only Nigeria you will see such ....

Sanchez01:

What do you call a plane found by the road side? Perhaps they took it to a Kazeem to fix something? If you want to take up Lai Mohammed's mantra, at least be smart while at it.

my friend keep your dirty mouth shut and go gett an education on what a plane crash is.
Dumb ass ipob supporter

Thanks naptu2.

I saw it yesterday while driving to work, initially thought it was a crash.

3 Singapore Airlines planes were towed on public roads from the airport to an exhibition centre where they were going to be scrapped. The event occurred last year.
