Audio from the wrong turn with re-enactment graphics (via Aviation Librarian).
Aviation for Aviators reports the pilots of a British Airways Airbus A380 - one of the world's largest jets - got lost on the way to Terminal E after landing at Logan on Friday and wound up stuck for nearly an hour on a taxiway that was supposed to be closed for construction. Massport had to bring in a "pushback tug" to haul the jumbo jet to the right taxiway so that it could then, well, taxi, to the terminal.

They weren't going to make it through any of the tunnels.
Yeah, not with all the closures.

Really inconvenient.

I knew Miller's was a cover, as I am an Insufferable Music Geek, but I felt I had to go with what everyone else knew - he's the one who had the hit with it :-)

… construction, there would have been a cop on detail sitting inside their personal vehicle scrolling their phone while the jumbo jet rolled on by.
Turboprop reverse taxi FTW

I only once directed a turboprop aircraft to taxi in reverse, during a detachment to Scotland where the parking was tight. Just needed to remember to stand outboard at the wingtip to avoid getting blown away.
