“A hidden stash of gold bars worth $1.2 million was found in a commercial jet’s bathroom on Tuesday. An aircraft maintenance crew found the 24 gold bars in two bags aboard a Jet Airways Boeing 737 while they performed routine end-of-day checks at Kolkata, India, airport. The bars weigh 53 pounds in total and appeared to have originated in the United Arab Emirates. While this is the first time gold bars have been found on a plane at the airport, security checks have in the past caught people trying to smuggle gold onto aircraft in their hand luggage, the airport director said. India has traditionally been the world’s largest importer of gold, although that title is being threatened this year by China.”
