When you consider the amount of 747's that are being tugged around globally every day.... I stop to wonder why this particular one had this particular accident... One question that springs to mind is how often, does santiago have to deal with 747's, is it rare for them to be there and as such was there a lack of familiarity in moving the type and dealing with any perculiarities in moving the model.... second, due to the high profile nature of this particular aircraft.... Was everybody focussed on the job, or were the ground crew busy using cameraphones and tweeting/instergramming/facebooking to their friends?
Or, is this type of incident quiete common, but just under-reported?
