Note the luggage train departing. I bet they allowed the CG to fall too far to the rear and the nose gear got light.

It's obvious, actually - it is the forward baggage man's fault. You only need a light pull to close the forward hatch.

Love the guy trying to push it back. I recall a strong wind day in Amsterdam. Empty baggage containers were blowing about like tumbleweed. A 747 was swung around on one of the jetties, but what finally closed the airport was a 747 on the bridge en-route to 36L (as it then was), which was pushed sideways, and only narrowly avoided going over onto the road.

Happened to me on the road a couple of times this winter in the Maritimes - time to stay home with a hot meal and a good book. Schools were closed for 12 days - double the normal.
