While it is common to push malfunctioning cars on the streets, a video from an Indian airport showing employees pushing an aircraft has gone viral and sparked laughter.
The video, which originated at an airport in Gujarat, India, shows airport staff pushing a plane backwards. This unusual sight is likely due to the lack of necessary technical and engineering equipment at this airport, unlike other airports where towing trucks are used to push or pull planes according to safety protocols.
It is believed that there were no passengers on the large aircraft, and it seems that the plane’s thrust reverser engine had malfunctioned, forcing the ground crew to push it manually.
