How on earth did an aircraft collide with a tug? Their are supposed to be three people on the outside directing the aircraft on a pushback. At least one man in the Tug attached to the nose gear. Two on each wing tip and one in the rear or tail of the aircraft. I have been a licensed airframe and Powerplant Mechanic for over sixty years. I have never heard or seen anyone push an aircraft into a tug. Either the people there were not experienced enough to tow an aircraft or they were on some wacky weed. It's drug test time.
