From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
Was the following true - or just another of those 'aviation fables':

A320 being pushed back with engines running. For some reason brakes are applied, towbar weak link breaks and a/c tips slightly backwards....computers think it's near the ground at an unsafe speed and command TOGA - Airbus ends up mounting pushback tractor before it can be stopped.
