Flight had been delayed overnight due to hydraulic problems and when it was towed off to a remote stand in the early hours of the morning, the tug team forgot to put the pin in the gear which caused its collapse.

No, actually it was e-mailed to me by a certain pilot a few weeks ago!!!!
Happened in May probably cos the engineers forgot to put in a pin that holds the gear on place during maintenance. no passengers on board or injured.
They seem to be a fairly safe airline, don't panic. He has no scare stories about them anyway
