Probably the worst case of this that I have seen was a $200 million dollar Airbus destroyed during engine runup testing by the Abu Dhabi flight crew. Didn't even have a mile on it.

You need to put this as a story on rallypoint. I'm tempted but you told me so I felt it would be best for you to post it. Wow, I said this to everybody on my distro list. What a disaster and how stupid could they be to not review the flight procedures?

SN Greg Wright - sorry I wasn't thinking in a positive sense I'm sorry that happened to you I thought maybe you were just Young and Crazy glad you took evasive action and didn't get killed. Remember my sister telling me high school about how so friends of hers or in something like a Nissan 200SX three of them and they were racing another car doing 85 in a 35 Zone and they lost control hit a tree all three of them were killed
