Narrative:
On landing at miami was notified that aircraft had blown around ground equipment and injured several people. On taxi out of parking at mco, aircraft was parked in such a way that we had to make 120 degree turn to taxi. (See dia. Rev.) ground equipment and trucks were parked close to left hand side and nose of aircraft. Was unable to roll aircraft forward and had to make immediate 120 degree turn. With sharpness of turn and up slope to ramp, necessitated slightly more than normal power. Used only enough power to keep aircraft rolling.
