Bengaluru and unexpected traffic incidents are inseparable companions, ensuring that our daily routines remain far from mundane. It seems like every day, the city’s streets serve up something peculiar that quickly finds its way onto the internet, sparking laughter and amusement. Whether it’s an Uber app inquiring about your well-being during an extended traffic halt or a dedicated employee setting up their laptop amid the gridlock, Bengaluru never ceases to defy expectations. This time, however, the traffic jam in Bengaluru had an exceptionally amusing twist that would leave you both surprised and chuckling.

In a picture that recently emerged on ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter), an unusual sight awaited viewers: a helicopter stuck in the middle of a road for some baffling reason. This peculiar sight brought traffic to a standstill on one side of the road, while a group of individuals appeared to be coordinating efforts to lift the chopper from its peculiar predicament. Who would have ever imagined getting stuck in traffic because of a helicopter? Bengaluru, you never cease to amaze!

However, News18 was unable to independently verify the situation involving the helicopter, which appeared to be associated with HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited).

Nevertheless, this incident added a new twist to Bengaluru’s traffic woes – now, you might find yourself delayed by a helicopter on the road. Whether you find it amusing or frustrating, that’s entirely up to you!

Meanwhile, did you know about the intra-city helicopter service that offers a traffic-free commute to those looking to escape the city’s notorious jams? According to FlyBlade India, the provider of this service, it allows travellers to bypass the two-hour road commute and opt for a quick 12-minute flight instead. While it simplifies travel between North and South Bengaluru, the company is also planning to introduce more landing points within the city, including Electronic City and Whitefield.
