The aircraft nose was initially pulled down with tugs and cables.... However, due to cable angles, it wasn't possible to pull it down all the way. The nose only touched down after about 10 people boarded the aircraft at the front right hand door (via a scissor stand).... and
slowly moved towards the cockpit.
By the way, the aircraft didn't "crash" onto its tail as reported. The aircraft settled on its bum quite softly.... Perhaps because of the cushioning effect of the downward vectored APU exhaust?
