PC-12 vs. Hawker grd collision

Ground accident at ISP, taxiing PC-12 struck a BAE-125-1000 that was parked. There's a photo on the website I'll link. The Hawker lost half it's right wing, the PC-12 lost it's entire right wing. Have to wonder just how fast the PC-12 was taxiing?

I don't think that is going to buff out.

Even if your dad is a TV repairman with a righteous set of tools...

I don't think that was a "taxi" accident, the plane started moving in an uncontrolled manner.

Either brakes failed or engine runaway.

Did you see the line guy scamper out of the way? Brakes not set and pilot head down? Brakes failed and pilot couldn't throw it in to reverse pitch? Could be a few things.

Nobody hurt thankfully but some insurance adjusters will be busy...

Yep, from the video not a taxi accident. Ramp looked slippery, that may have been a contributing factor. The PC-12 moved at such speed I tend to think it was runaway engine.
