On another aviation website, there's mention of two accidents at DFW involving pushbacks...the most recent cost a ramper a leg, a broken leg, and crushed pelvis. Some posters report pushbacks done with just a tug operator involved!!

It seems that it is not just pushback where things can go wrong at JFK!
On Sunday, 28 May 2006, Qantas flight QF107 hit the blast fence at Terminal 7 while taxiing to its gate. As a result, the starboard side wingtip was damaged. The aircraft was VH-OEE, a Boeing 747-400 ER, named the Spirit of Australia.

Hi Phil,
Thanks for the pic, looks like an embarrassing incident.
Mate I think you'll find that QANTAS is "The Spirit of Australia" not VH-OEE.
VH-OEE is named "Nullabor"
