anybody got any pix to show the tug track off the hard stuff into the grass? seems like it would have taken a a rather long reaction time
Not entirely sure what you mean. Note that FRA use advanced equipment (which do not require any "brakeman" on the FD for these long distance tows. If you witness them (as I have) they travel at a fair rate of knots on the taxiways clear of the ramp areas. Therefore, if the driver became ill and went off piste the tug would roll for an appreciable distance. For info: the outbound flight, which was due to depart some 7 hours after the incident, was cancelled. Perhaps the aircraft incurred some damage too.
