In a very unusual incident, an aircraft was pushed away by powerful winds from the gate at Dallas Fort Worth Airport in the United States.
Shocking footage reveals that the American Airlines Boeing 737-800, which weighed around 90,000 pounds, had its nose pushed around the tarmac when the loading bridge was disconnected.
According to American Airlines, the aircraft was one of “several” that were impacted by the gusts of 80 mph, causing the airport to ground up to 700 planes.
There was nobody on the airplane and according to the airline representative, maintenance personnel are “currently conducting thorough inspections and will make any needed repairs.”
