<p>Google Maps users have spotted a spooky image of a downed passenger plane in the middle of the Australian rainforest. As per the reports by UK-based media outlet Metro, users have spotted the downed jetliner on the Cardwell Range, which is located between Townsville and Cairns.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the image, it appears that the jet has been nestled in a clearing in the trees.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After giving a closer look at the image, it looks like the plane is either an Airbus A320 or a Boeing 737.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It is quite evident and media reports also mentioned that the image doesn't show any sign of any damage to the plane or the area where it has been spotted.&nbsp;</p>
