Can't recall what airplane it was that did that, but I do know it was a taxiing accident. Brakes weren't set or something like that.
Pretty sure that  T-tailed twin was hauling freight, not people (whew!).

A guy hand propped his Piper Saratoga without any chocks or even setting the parking break and it rolled forward after starting supposedly due to a "surge in power" and chopped up four of the university's Piper Warriors.

How can you be smart enough to own (or at least be allowed to fly) a Saratoga, yet still be dumb enough to do that? I'm not the brightest bulb on the Xmas tree, but I ain't that stupid.
