HYDERABAD: A disused passenger plane that was being transported crashed when it fell from a ground transporter while being moved near Begumpet Airport in Hyderabad on Sunday.

The disused Air India Airbus A-320 was being shifted from the airport to Air India's cadet training facility when a crane mounted on a 16-wheelbase transport carrier toppled under the weight of the plane, dropping the aircraft on a wall nearby.
