This guy lost his license on the spot, travelling on E18 south of Oslo, he was following the other traffic that was going in 110 kph, on one of the most trafficked roads in Norway

2009: Airbus 340-600
The spanking brand new Airbus 340-600, sat in its hangar in Toulouse , France without a single hour of airtime.
Enter the Arab flight crew of Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies (ADAT) on November 15, 2007 to conduct pre-delivery tests on the ground, such as engine run-ups, prior to delivery to Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi .
The ADAT crew taxied the A340-600 to the run-up area. Then they took all four engines to take off power with a virtually empty aircraft. Not having read the run-up manuals, they had no clue just how light an empty A340-600 really is.
The take off warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit because they had all 4 engines at full power. The aircraft computers thought they were trying to take off but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc.) Then one of the ADAT crew decided to pull the circuit breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the alarm.
This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air. The computers automatically released all the brakes and set the aircraft rocketing forward. The ADAT crew had no idea that this is a safety feature so that pilots can't land with the brakes on.
Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew was smart enough to throttle back the engines from their max power setting, so the $200 million brand-new aircraft crashed into a blast barrier, totaling it. The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown, for there has been a news blackout in the major media in France and elsewhere. Coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Moslem Arabs. Finally, the photos are starting to leak out.
Always read the manual!

That's Vietnam
The plate number is always painted on the side of the cab.
The first two digits of the plate indicate the 'home province'
88 is Vĩnh Phúc (just north of Hanoi)

Where did you find this Graham? What is described here as the cause of the accident is not what happened in real life.
The aircraft was performing a high power engine run with all four engines operating. It is normal that apart from setting the parking brake, wheel chocks are also used. In this case they were not present.
The amount of thrust the engines were operating at was on the limit for the “holding power” of the parking brake system. Especially when the aircraft is light, as in this case because there is less weight on the wheels. Hence a reduction in parking brake capacity.
An A340-600 has three sets of main gears, 2 under the wings and 1 under the fuselage. In addition there is the nose gear but this has no brakes. When setting the parking brake this sends pressure between 2600-3100 psi to the brakes. But only to the brakes on landing gears under the wings!
When the aircraft started moving they released the parking brake and took used manual brakes. A manual brake input sends brake pressure (2600-3100psi) to all main landing gear. This should have stopped the aircraft.
However they also tried to steer the aircraft away from the wall by using the nose wheel steering. If you use a nose wheel steering angle over 20 degrees then the brake pressure to the landing gear under the fuselage (middle)is released to reduce stress on the landing gear leg.
At no point did they reduce the thrust on the engines and this combined with the steering input resulted in the accident.
No circuit breakers were pulled but some procedures were not correctly followed.

Don't complain - suggest what's better
This looks fun. Shows just how vulnerable a bottleneck like this is.
