Quite recent. It caused $3mil for the repairs. The ground staff weren’t paying attention to where they were pushing back the Virgin 737!

I heard this story, I can’t believe this took up to 2 years before investors could come up with reasons and reports so I wonder how long it’s gonna take them to bring reports for the flydubai 737 crash.
