This photo just shows that although the same testing has been done before, time and time again, there is always maybe that margin of error that can cause a US$200 million accident. I hope that if there was anyone in the cockpit, that they were OK as there is no mention of this.

A visitor from - posted Tue October 20, 2009:
Cool. :)

A visitor from - posted Mon October 19, 2009:
This aircraft did not jump chocks - there were no chocks installed prior to engine run up. an untrained member of ground maintenance crew took all 4 engines to MCT- causing the take off config warning to sound... Then.. one of the crew decided to pull the GPWS aural alarm breaker - however this defeated the air/ground logic, telling the a/c it was in the air. Thus the brakes were all released, (safety feature to stop the a/c landing with the brakes on). The engines remained at MCT for just under 10 seconds - they were not retarded prior to hitting the wall.

expensive error there.

A visitor from - posted Tue October 13, 2009:
Wow that's an expensive mistake! Such a shame. Excellent photo though.

A visitor from Spain posted Sat September 19, 2009:
Very Nice,Sad for the peepz onboard.

That was a bit stupid though because
it plummeted straight into it on
landing before ripping the Cockpit!
Looks like a sad day for the
Pilots.

An Etihad spokesman said the canceled order related to an aircraft which rammed into a concrete wall during engine testing at the planemaker's Toulouse headquarters in November 2007, injuring 9 people including 4 seriously.

A visitor from United States posted Thu July 9, 2009:

Sad pic for me.i love Etihad Airways

A visitor from United States posted Sun August 10, 2008:
Very clear shot. What lens/camera was used? From an A&P Mechanic who helped rebuild some wrecks, most is salvageable I'd imagine. We took the nose off a similarly damaged A/C. Mfgr can do computer stress analysis and identify stress points to change. Most of airframe can be re-used as is Ldg gear, systems, engines etc. Much inspection work is required and stringers and skin and some bulkheads to be replaced where heavy damage is, along with possibly doublers added for strength. Cockpit is probably trash, but if crew survived then possibly all instrumentation and much avionics can be reinspected on a bench and recertified. You'd be surprised. As an ATP rated in an airliner that was rebuilt I flew the airliner that was rebuilt on its first flight and it flew like a new A/C. Flew straight and no one would know it was ever damaged, except that it was the only one of its kind that had a special belly doubler where the fuselage "cracked" open and was obvious as it was a mirror finish due to special aluminum and you could comb your hair in the reflection as it shone like Air Force One!

A visitor from Germany posted Fri August 8, 2008:
Actually there are 2 blast walls facing each other, that's why the plane could crash into it. MSN 856 ist still at the airbus site, hidden in a hangar. They haven't decided what to do of it yet.

A visitor from Canada posted Tue June 24, 2008:
Good example to show how powerful the engines are, and why not to run them all at full power while only chocked.

To answer a question/comment below, usually (always) there is at least one person in the cockpit to 'rev' the engines.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong; but shouldn't the blast fence be BEHIND an aircraft during testing, and not in front of it ??? Just a thought !!

A visitor from United States posted Sat March 22, 2008:
Just think. You work for ethiad and you're all excited about getting a brand new 340, watching the engine test...then....BAAAMMM. No more plane for you. sucks

It didn't even get to carry a single person (besides Airbus). I'm just glad no one was hurt.

Ouch! I simply can't stop looking at the pic, let alone think what is salvageable or not... I'm sure there's got to be some sort of insurance.

A visitor from France posted Wed November 28, 2007:
The gloomy blue-ish light really puts the sad feeling into this shot. It's a bad situation; but a good shot of it.

Those people talking about jumping the chocks: Two recent telex messages from Airbus have stated that this aircraft was NOT chocked (confirmed), contrary to procedures. Second Airbus states that all four engines were running at high power (EPR 1.24-1.26, confirmed) which again is contrary to procedures stating only one engine at a time (plus a little power on the other wing for symmetry).

Also the late response time to retard to idle was pointed out: 9 seconds from initial movement. The crew were aware of movement, since after 2 seconds they pressed brakes manually and released parking brake, appearantly leaving the engines at high power at this stage.

It is not clear who had responsability for the run; Airbus is not confirming that it is them. There was Etihad staff present so it is possibly them (unconfirmed). For sure, some people are going to be in some heavy reviews about this.

Ouch! What a misfurtune & mishandling.

A visitor from France posted Thu November 22, 2007:
Don't think that anything could be saved off this aircraft. By the way you can see the left wing tip, shows that it may have made contact with the wall this is why the right wing is lower. Shame for Airbus and Etihad - hope the injured are ok.

A visitor from Netherlands posted Wed November 21, 2007:
If they kept the brake pressure, nothing would have happened... but: because the brake pressure decreased the engines at full throtle caused a nose up movement... luckily there was a wall right after the airplane: can you imagine what it could have caused without the wall? A full throtle aircraft without brakes ''shaving'' around the airport could have costed lives.

A visitor from United States posted Wed November 21, 2007:
Obviously a major malfunction

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed November 21, 2007:
Guys/Gals - this is the 3rd A340-600 mishap this month, an SAA A346 buried its nosegear into the sand in Cape Town while trying to backtrack, then Quito, and now this sad waste of a beautiful plane. What a month - but that should be it now - bad luck happens in threes!

A visitor from United States posted Tue November 20, 2007:
Quite a few armchair troubleshooters claiming low brake pressure. brake pressure doesn't help if you don't monitor your minimum fuel weights and the tires break traction. so many factors, maybe we should all let the investigators investigate. photo is excellent showing what can happen when little factors line up to give a bunch of good guys a bad day.

Ouch..seems that RR engines are actually very powerful..
I think at least 2 or 3 engines, tail, APU or wings are savageable..

Great picture, well done...

As for the comment below "That's why boeing is king"... It's a pity that in this person's mind, Boeing (spelt with a capital letter by the way) stands much taller on the debris of other aircraft - The world is big enough for both...

Surely the Airbus/Boeing debate should remain light-hearted and encourage excellent aircraft design & healthy competitiveness across the world, not descend into sneering and laughing at other people's mistakes and injuries. It's possible this was an accident caused by 'human error', not the aircraft itself.

Any accident that a person can walk away from is the best type, and I for one, wish them a speedy recovery.

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 19, 2007:
This is good for spare parts, and yes it can be repaired...costly and sad that this happened, someone is being fired for this, be assured!

A superb "early-retirement" of the A340-600.

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 19, 2007:
Terrible waste of resources. This a/c is going to be officially written off, but it was insured by Airbus, so Etihad is fine.

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 19, 2007:
This plane is perhaps the first A340-600 out of service, and at a operating cost of a few million dollars per hour since completition.

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 19, 2007:
The tail section, four engines, landing gears and perhaps the wingbox are salvageable, the frame itself is definitely a WO. The cockpit is ... AWOL.

A visitor from United States posted Mon November 19, 2007:
Wow – safety is our number one focus and this looks like someone overlooked a critical detail when testing. My best wishes go out to those who got hurt and to there families. This was a costly check out in many ways; I hope airbus investigates this toughly so to prevent another occurrence.

A visitor from Canada posted Mon November 19, 2007:
I've seen something like this in vancouver, an a310 jump the shocks to hit the hanger. if you do a run-up with an airbus air mode you dont have brake, parking brake, reverse and steering, airbus phylosophie you dont need all this if your in the air. mistakes do appen

A visitor from India posted Mon November 19, 2007:
There is something wrong in this ground run procedure. Normally for full power run ups the airplane is anchored to the ground with steel cables. Just chocks and brakes are not enough. Also during a ground run the blast deflectors are supposed to be behind the engine. This airplane is pointing the wrong way. Obviously there is more to the story. Hope Airbus comes out with a detailed report.

A visitor from United States posted Sat November 17, 2007:
This picture is amazing! I do find it hard to believe that it simply jumped its chocks, though. An engine run-up test should obviously have the brakes set as well, at this picture proves why . . . Something mechanical must have failed with the brakes or a pre-test procedure wasn't followed.
