"As I began to push the plane back the plane the push back started to take off faster then I expected it to do. I tried to step on the brake to slow it down but it would not bring the plane to a stop."
This guy did not even start pressing on the brakes until 17 seconds into the push back. He then proceeded to slam on the breaks stopping the plane in 3 seconds. You don't have to be a genius to know that 85,000 pounds being decelerated from 15 mph to 0 in 3 seconds in going to snap the nose gear. This guy probably put around 400,000 pounds of force on the nose gear which is kind of impressive.
