Maybe time to place backup cameras on planes like they have in most vehicles.

Not going to make any difference.  The aircraft was reported being pushed back by a tug whose driver should have been looking in that direction!

Having said that, I've been on a few aircraft that used reverse thrust to "push back" from the gate!

So hard to believe these type of incidents happen with tug drivers and ground personal all about.
Maybe tug driver was texting or talking on the phone. I sure hope they get fired for not doing their job.

Google "just culture".  Aviation safety is rarely improved by just demanding that people be fired.
