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.

Read the article here:

Pilot for a major US airline certified in the: EMB-120, CRJ, 727, 737, 757, 767, and A-320 and military, T-38, C-130, C-141, and C-5 along with misc. other small airplanes. Any questions, I'm here for you.

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.
