In the QF case, it was Damascus and the engines stalled in reverse having overrun the taxiway exit and tried to do a 3-point turn in a B742
[where, BTW, you could use idle reverse to help the tug; usually in icy locations.]
After finding a tug and an appropriate borescope, they got on with the job.
And the Capt. is better known as "Calamity", which sums up the highlights of his career [he use to say he was the only supervisory pilot with a velcro star!!]
G'day
