Pushing back against the nose of a gravity powered freewheeling 18 tonne aircraft, that’s the definition of desperation!

I'm pretty sure XL472 is in my late dad's logbook too, he flew in 849B back in 66 - 68.

there must have been something a switched on person could have thrown in front of a wheel to stop it - chucked one of those steward hand carts off the plane maybe? (Perhaps its better they didnt rescue the plane and risk leaving potential unknown damage)

Seems peculiar with all the safety checks and so on for the aircraft to be sat there unchocked
