A refuelling truck at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is shown moving away from an Air China Boeing 747-8 while a fuel hose appears to remain attached, leading to a significant fuel leak, according to video reported by outlets.
The footage, recorded at JFK in New York as the aircraft prepares for departure, shows the truck departing and the connection continuing during the movement. Multiple reports identify the incident as occurring during ground operations involving the Boeing 747-8 and Air China, with the leak described as “huge” or substantial based on the visible spill.
Outlet coverage centers on the dramatic nature of the recording. While they differ in wording and emphasis—some focus on the “moment” shown in the video and others on the scale of the leak—both describe the same core event: an airport refuelling worker’s truck moves off with the fuel hose still attached, causing fuel to spill.
