APU was inop. Two outboard engines started at the gate. It was gate 159 that requires a nearly 180 degree turn during the pushback onto taxiway C.
It's only about a 30º turn. The 380s are pushed into C, tail east, and then towed forward until roughly abeam 156 for start. They are not permitted beyond C10 whilst on C.
