El Al 747-400 decided to see how far he could push the tug and tow bar, whilst it was all still connected to the aircraft, after push back. He started engines and decided it was time to taxi, probably without consulting the ground crew. El Al taxied about about 40 metres when the ground crew scrambled for their lives. I believe the tug dissapeared towards the right, still connected, jack knived into engine 3, the engine is very torn up underneith.
Eisch!
