And you think that you had a bad day!
I’m not 100% sure to all of the facts of this story. Here a link to one of the stories that I found on line.

What I do know is that this plane costs $200 million dollars and it’s toast because of an error in testing. I was sent some pictures of the inside of the plane. They have bedroom suites with television for long trips. Each wide-bodied seat is a computer terminal. It is luxury all the way to the bathrooms.
It seems that the flight crew was testing it out for the maiden flight and someone put all four engines on max thrust at the same time. A “safety devise” cut power to the breaks and the jet lunged forward. For some reason, they flight crew didn’t cut the power in time and crash, there was the wall.
Do you notice the two small specks by the tail section? That’s two people wondering what to do now.
