Looks like a wet ramp. He appears to be facing the bright lights of the terminal. Reflective water hides the yellow line and taxiway markers look the same from every direction so if 4 are lined up on two adjacent taxiways then it looks like another taxiway that isn't really there. I've taken a turn like this before except I was slow enough to see the grass when it appeared from side scatter in my taxi lights and corrected in time to find the actual turn-off 100' further. This is actually a really easy mistake to make. Since then I've had this recurring dream where I run off a taxiway on a dark and stormy night and then sit around smiling at the passengers after we deplane in the mud and they try to keep dry holding the seatback magazines over their heads. What a night!

a few questions…
Was it a pilot at the controls? How long had the captain been a captain?
Looks like this power-out attempt was coordinated with the airport? What was in front of the jet? Behind?
towing it out was not an option?
was the parking brake not set after pushback?
Howd they finally get it unstuck?

I know it was a new FO getting OE from a new OE captain.
