Possibly with the parking brake on? Just what I picked up from the other thread. A pilot on tower said they saw a lot of smoke from the wheels.

It will be interesting to see if anything changes. Simple lock type device would do the trick. Could happen every day, but generally people are able to rationalize not doing this sort of thing. Unfortunate that this guy was struggling so badly. He could have had a good chance living if he ditched it I think.
