just for those that are interested in the facts.....
Tow bar shear-pin failed going up a slight incline which when you come down the other side causes the A/C to try and overtake the tug.
Tow bar then failed totally causing separation from tug (poor design and being investigated).
communication between tug and A/C was comprimised by headset lead pulling tight and self disconnecting during incident.
Guys stood down during investigation, all good and back at work.
Aircraft now flying with robbed nose cowl.
everyone involved very lucky.
