Here is one of my favorite videos.
A little background first:
This is my friend/coworkers first time doing a solo pushback (by himself without a lead). So basically I'm riding with him and we start off. He turns too soon and lines up the nose wheel with the outside taxi lines (where the wings should hang over). Obliviously, this is very dangerous, so our lead steps in and pulls the plane back into the right position. After that is done, the Captain informs us that the plane went mechanical and that he needed us to pull him back into the blocks. That's when the video ends. However my day was suppose to be over after that flight, but we had to stay an extra 2 hours unloading the plane and other stuff and it was delayed 24 hours and left the next day (also an interesting story). But I'll let you guys enjoy the video now.
This is South African Airways flight 208 from Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) to Léopold Sédar Senghor International Airport (DKR) in Senegal.
Aircraft is an Airbus A340-300
