Mumbai: While the maximum city is flooded during the monsoon a video is making rounds on social media interestingly which was viral last year too with the caption – Flooded Mumbai Airport.
The video which was taken by someone in a car running on Airport shows a signalman signalling a plane both in ankle deep water.

Though the video is real, the claims made are completely wrong as the video is from Mexico Airport which was taken in August 2017.
