A QANTAS B707 came to rest on stand at Sydney
Stretching our memories here, and hopefully not mixing up events, but I recall, prior to pushback, the tug driver had a heart attack, pushed the accelerator pedal with the aircraft brakes still on and the nose gear collapsed. Of course, we are talking here about the nose gear going aft, not forward.
