The jet had been a naughty aeroplane and was being dangled over the edge by its ankles as a punishment... ;) ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

He was possibly not chained downed correctly or even a taxi mishap ;)

The second one looks like the plane had tail hook problems and had to catch the net and things went a little wrong and ended up over the side.
