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

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.
