Etihad A340-600 destroyed

Etihad A340-600 Accident Photos - FlightBlogger - Aviation News, Commentary and Analysis

A brand new 600 series with zero time with Etihad. Doing high power run-ups with only the parking brake set, no chocks. Apparently a circuit breaker was pulled to silence a warning which somehow "tricked" the plane in to thinking it was airborne and released the parking brake. How about a WOW switch????

Thought some might like to see the photos since there was no news coverage.

There wont be news coverage since this happened about 10 months ago

Airbus has many AIRBUS FLIGHT CONTROL LAWS, no they need a PARKING BRAKE LAW.

Probably a bug in their computer software.

True, but I never saw the photos before. I just thought others might like to see them in light of the recent ASA/Skywest hanger cluster.
