Lufthansa A321 pushback incident
Paxing today in EDDF I saw a LH A321 D-AISG pushing from gate A30 at 15:30 utc...
I was thinking "*****, these guys push fast like crazy" when SUDDENLY the airplane came to an ABRUPT STOP, with the bar almost at 90 degrees to the left.
That was a hell of a stop! FA must have all fallen down.
I wonder what happened. Did they set the parking brake by mistake?
After 10 minutes with a half dozen people investigating, the same truck pulled the airplane back onto the stand.
