An Air India Airbus A321-200, flight IC-602 from Mumbai to New Delhi (India) with 53 passengers, was being pushed back, when the nose gear ran over the legs of a ground worker (45) causing fractures and serious injuries to the man’s legs. The airplane was stopped, the worker taken to a local hospital.
A replacement aircraft departed to New Delhi about one hour later.

r last with the rapid increase in volume of airline traffic.
Did someone not get their leg run over by a BA B744 in Africa?

It ceases to amaze me how so many ground crew including the poor injured guy managed to literally have their eyes closed during operational manouvres.
It could only and has happened out there and will not obviously be the first or last with the rapid increase in volume of airline traffic.

What was he doing, lying down behind the nose gear? :confused:
The push back truck pushes from the nose gear too. How can you miss it? :confused:
