There were (unconfirmed) reports on social media yesterday that the tow bar snapped during push back, causing the tug to subsequently crash into the nose gear with substantial force.
Looks like the tow tug had not completed the push back. From the pictures,the aircraft was not on the center line yet. Not sure whether LAX allows engines start prior to completion of push back.
