Man... I thought that sounded so much worse than what it actually was, haha. When I read that headline, I thought worst case scenario; that the door had been ripped off in flight. When in reality, it wasn't near as serious as that. Also what pisses me off is that they were going to try and pin some of the blame on the pilot. How in the hell is the groundhandlers irresponsible actions considered pilot error? That person should just man-up and take the blame and pay whatever consequence.

The question is, as far as I can make out of this media hyped non story, why did the aircraft move?.......Brakes failed or pilot failed to put them on.

Someone should have done something and apparently, they did not.

The reason for the creation of 60% of the news. :P

I'm not a real pilot, but isn't setting the parking brake a checklist item during the shutdown/park/disembark part of the 'process'?

I believe it is.
