This week, a Ryanair Boeing 737-800 (registration not known) was severely damaged during tugging at the maintenance apron of London Stansted Airport, United Kingdom. Parts of the lower belly were ripped off when the tug wedged underneath the aircraft.
Nobody got injured during the mishap. It was reported that heavy rainfall caused the tug (and subsequently the aircraft) to start sliding (slipping).
