How to crash an [tag]Airbus[/tag] without even taking off:

Ten people were injured when an [tag]Airbus 340-600[/tag] slammed into a wall during engine tests on the ground at a French airport. The plane was scheduled for delivery next week. The incident took place during a final round of tests, in which its engines are powered up full-throttle as the brakes are applied.

The 281 million dollar plane is a write-off.
