Narrative:
There is a depression where the tarmac and the concrete meet causing aircraft to get stuck. They do not have enough speed to make it over the bump. Pilots are throttling up trying to make it over causing dangerous situations. This results in the gate crew telling pilots to shut down engines and towing aircraft into gate. Pushbacks also struggle to pull through the depression.
