Just saw it, looks like they blew a tire. Rubber everywhere (one chunk looked like a whole tire just ripped in half) and they were riding the rim/s. Probably gouged the crap out of the concrete.

Happened to COPA a few months ago in LAX on a taxiway. Then the tug they brought out to tow him in broke down. It was comedy gold.
Ai, caramba, mi madre, chingada, now there's flow to LAX...Aeromexico Flight 18 operating LAX to MEX is disabled on runway 25R in LAX. Hearing there is possibly runway damage. Not sure exactly what happened.
Isn't there always flow to LAX?Ai, caramba, mi madre, chingada, now there's flow to LAX...
Call on taxi only sort of counts. They pushed back our morning banks a whole bunch when this went down.Isn't there always flow to LAX?
That'll do it. A TWA MD-80 had 28R shut down at SFO for at least a week in the 90s when it blew tires departing SJC(I think) and diverted here skidding down on it's rims. I'm curious to see pictures.Just saw it, looks like they blew a tire. Rubber everywhere (one chunk looked like a whole tire just ripped in half) and they were riding the rim/s.

Comedy gold was @Rocketman99's late push waiting for a tug because their tug went to help tug another tug, that was trying to help another tug, that was trying to pull yet another tug, that was trying to push a CRJ.jtrain609 said:Happened to COPA a few months ago in LAX on a taxiway.

I once went through THREE bad pushbacks with a Brasilia waiting to push before a 4th one's wench would actually pull the plane into the Lektro bucket. Turned out the one of the mechanics accidentally disabled them. I was pissed at the time, but the pilots loved it and took plenty of pics of the 3 broken push backs lining the gate when we finally started to push haha.Comedy gold was @Rocketman99's late push waiting for a tug because their tug went to help tug another tug, that was trying to help another tug, that was trying to pull yet another tug, that was trying to push a CRJ.
