Pushback is a frightening evolution no matter how it's conducted, although I must say I have a passionate dislike of the machines that pick up the nosewheel rather than using a towbar as God intended.
In this accident, I'm ridiculously happy nobody was hurt. Now, maybe we'll see the insanity of doing engine run-ups anywhere but out at a runup pad.
