Oops!
Not to underestimate the seriousness of this incident but do you think the actions of the tug driver were intentional to stop the rolling aircraft from causing more serious damage to other aircraft or buildings?

Don't know what went wrong with previous post, anyway the aircraft and tug appear to be moving far too quickly and the tug is not aligned to the aircrafts centreline its a pity the video doesn't start earlier to give an idea of the origin of the problem.
Could have been really serious.

I agree, whether intentional or not, speed certainly appears to be a factor.

Jetblue launches $3.6 billion bid for Spirit Airlines – Business Traveller
The surprise move follows a previous merger agreement between ultra low-cost carriers Spirit and Frontier announced in February…

Jetblue has launched a surprise bid for ultra low-cost US carrier Spirit, which it says constitutes a “superior proposal” to the recently announced merger agreement between Spirit and Frontier.
The $3.6 billion bid – described as “unsolicited” by Spirit – would see Jetblue retrofitting and rebranding Spirit’s aircraft under the Jetblue offering, creating a fleet of 455 planes with 312 Airbus aircraft on order.
Speaking to a senior director at a well-known continental European airport close to the UK at Routes World, JetBlue's LRs don't have the range to serve it, at least not year-round or without a payload restriction, and that it will have to wait for the XLRs to arrive.
A few of the comments claim to quote JetBlue staff or claim to be staff themselves having been told Paris or Amsterdam are next.
Now confirmed:

The United States Department of Justice has been sending out depositions in preparation for a lawsuit to block the shareholder-approved USD3.8 billion merger between JetBlue Airways (B6, New York JFK) and Spirit Airlines (NK, Fort Lauderdale International), a deal that could create the fifth largest US airline to compete with the four mainline US carriers.

jetBlue have placed its New York JFK - Paris CDG route on sale, with 1x daily flight commencing 29 June 2023 (returning the next day)
B6 1407 JFK 1709-0655+1 CDG (Daily)
B6 1408 CDG 0855-1151 JFK (Daily)
B6 1407 JFK 1709-0655+1 CDG (Daily)
B6 1408 CDG 0855-1151 JFK (Daily)
Well they finally got some slots at Amsterdam, but JetBlue still aren't happy.
The slot times at Amsterdam would require a 1am departure from New York, and at the moment the slots are only temporary for this summer - i.e. there's no guarantee they would keep the slots when the winter season starts at the end of October.
Deliberate plot to deter them?
