Nice video, but you can tell she is Blonde... And the captain even though experienced obviously had no clue of why this happened, why did they interview him. I can tell you exactly what happened. Mechanics were doing a power run....
In the process they pulled the Circuit Breaker's that control the Weight On Wheels indication making the plane think it was in the air. The idiots in the cockpit missed a procedure telling them to turn off their antiskid. In the process to prevent the plane from landing with brakes on blowing all 4 tires the brakes were released automatically. At full power and no brakes those little chocks have no chance of holding that plane back. They should have pulled the power back immediately, but even if they did, because they had the WOW breakers pulled the plane would have gone into HIGH IDLE still causing forward movement. Flight IDLE and Ground IDLE are 2 totally different settings.
I wish the news people would interview people who know the plane, because God knows the ones they talked too sure didn't. The FDR & CVR will tell the story I just told you... Just a little more graphic.... I really would like to hear the CVR recording! :))

Maybe they should have used chocks instead of chalk to hold it?
