A plane moved across a road, bringing traffic to a standstill in southern China.

The video was filmed in Chengdu City in Sichuan Province on July 4.

The person filming was unsure why a plane was on the road and was very surprised.

Some netizens commented on Chinese social media, saying that the plane was actually a restaurant that had been dismantled and moved after a recent fire.

Others claimed that there is an overpass between the two runways at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, allowing planes to pass over a highway where vehicles travel, causing the optical illusion that planes and cars are moving together on the same road.

On July 4, 2024, amidst severe weather conditions in Chengdu, Sichuan that brought traffic to a standstill, a surprising sight emerged on the road.

A man, stuck in his car during the gridlock, zoomed in his lens and spotted a white airplane unusually among the multitude of vehicles.

The person who filmed the incident was unsure why there was a plane on the road and was very surprised. Some netizens, apparently from the same area as the filmer, commented that the plane was actually a restaurant that had been dismantled and moved after a fire broke out recently.

Some others claimed that there is an overpass between the two tarmacs at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport that lets airplanes pass, with a highway underneath for vehicles to run on, and it's the visual misalignment that causes the planes and cars to appear to be traveling together on the same road.
