I would just love to see those insurance claims and the description of the 'accident'. Especially when filling in details of 'The other vehicle involved'!
Well, if back taxiing is a fairly normal practice there (I think it is), how come this time is different ? Isn't this the place where the landings are right over the roadway and people on the beach ? And if it is, you can't blame an airplane operator if you end up getting hurt, or anything else due to your own stupidity. If, in this case the aircraft was directed to turn that way, what seems to be the problem ? Has this ever happened before at this airport ? Something doesn't smell right here since it made the local "news"paper.
Yes, yes, and no.
It is that place, where we've seen those people.
In this case it was different because the pilots didn't follow the posted rules (on the pavement and on the charts).
They turned in the WRONG direction. So rather than their engine thrust blasting an area with nothing, it blasted an area on the other lateral widely the runway, that had people, cars, and other developments.
That's the problem. Pilots didn't follow directions.
They built up on one side and left the other side open because of the big plane engine thrust blast.
These guys either wanted to see how many people they were going to knock over, or didn't even care. Either way, they're not very nice people. (putting it in nicely, thoughbother words may be more appropriate).

It reminds me of the James Bond movie (The World Is Not Enough) where the guy says "The insurance company is not going to believe this". LOL
