Earlier this year, on March 23rd, a United Airlines Boeing 767-300ER experienced a notable event at London Heathrow Airport. During an ordinary day at the airport, this Boeing aircraft was pushed back by the jet blast from a British Airways Airbus A320neo as it began its takeoff roll.

Though the scene may not have appeared dramatic from a distance, the incident involved a significant amount of force to move the 767 in such a manner as observed in video footage.

This incident highlights the powerful forces at play during aircraft operations and the importance of maintaining safe distances between planes during crucial phases like takeoff.
