Aircraft ID?

To the best of my knowledge this reporter mis-names the equipment in the attached video. Confirmation ?

Based on just the thread title, without having read the linked document -should this not read "UA Aircraft pushed back into fuel truck at LGA"?

There doesn't appear to be a video in the linked article, just a photo of the B738 in question sporting some speed tape and about to operate a LGA-IAH flight later the same day as the incident:

Looks like they were just trying to make the point, somewhat clumsily, that the bowser was apparently parked, and the aircraft was moving, rather than vice versa.
