			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This brand spanking new Airbus 340-600,<br />
one of the largest passenger airplane ever built,<br />
sits just outside it&#8217;s hangar in Toulouse, France,<br />
without a single hour of airtime on the clock&#8230;.<br />
<a href="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/292410b0-da4f-40e6-bc79-ddd1600b8dce.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2847" title="292410b0-da4f-40e6-bc79-ddd1600b8dce" src="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/292410b0-da4f-40e6-bc79-ddd1600b8dce.jpeg" alt="292410b0-da4f-40e6-bc79-ddd1600b8dce" width="369" height="283" /></a></p>
<p>Enter the Arab flight crew of Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technologies<br />
(ADAT) to conduct pre-delivery tests on the  ground, such as<br />
engine run-ups prior to delivery to Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi.<br />
<a href="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ac5fee91-4340-473e-8f11-2de4001da007.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2846" title="ac5fee91-4340-473e-8f11-2de4001da007" src="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ac5fee91-4340-473e-8f11-2de4001da007.jpeg" alt="ac5fee91-4340-473e-8f11-2de4001da007" width="400" height="314" /></a><br />
The ADAT crew taxied the A340-600 to the run-up area.</p>
<p>Then they took all Four engines to takeoff power<br />
with a virtually empty aircraft.<br />
Not having Read the run-up manuals,<br />
they had no clue just how light an empty A340-600 really is.<br />
<a href="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ed79a5bb-ed1b-4805-aa04-60b77b5afe39.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2843" title="ed79a5bb-ed1b-4805-aa04-60b77b5afe39" src="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ed79a5bb-ed1b-4805-aa04-60b77b5afe39.jpeg" alt="ed79a5bb-ed1b-4805-aa04-60b77b5afe39" width="400" height="266" /></a><br />
The take-off warning horn was blaring away in the cockpit<br />
because they had All 4 engines at full power.<br />
The aircraft computers thought they were trying to take off,<br />
but it had not been configured properly (flaps/slats, etc.)<br />
<a href="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1903b730-3551-488f-b50c-5877869d6606.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2848" title="1903b730-3551-488f-b50c-5877869d6606" src="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1903b730-3551-488f-b50c-5877869d6606.jpeg" alt="1903b730-3551-488f-b50c-5877869d6606" width="400" height="267" /></a><br />
Then one of the ADAT crew decided to pull the circuit<br />
breaker on the Ground Proximity Sensor to silence the alarm.</p>
<p>This fools the aircraft into thinking it is in the air<br />
<a href="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ffdcc67c-6873-421f-a0aa-2cae8dc94c8c.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2841" title="ffdcc67c-6873-421f-a0aa-2cae8dc94c8c" src="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ffdcc67c-6873-421f-a0aa-2cae8dc94c8c.jpeg" alt="ffdcc67c-6873-421f-a0aa-2cae8dc94c8c" width="400" height="299" /></a><br />
See what happens after the break<br />
<span id="more-2852"></span></p>
<p>The computers automatically released all the brakes -<br />
and set the aircraft rocketing forward !! With the following result&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<br />
<a href="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1e5c3361-af0b-4b61-8d4e-74708d97a6a4.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2850" title="1e5c3361-af0b-4b61-8d4e-74708d97a6a4" src="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/1e5c3361-af0b-4b61-8d4e-74708d97a6a4.jpeg" alt="1e5c3361-af0b-4b61-8d4e-74708d97a6a4" width="400" height="300" /></a><br />
The Abu Dhabi Aircraft Technology crew had no idea that this is a safety feature<br />
so that pilots can&#8217;t land with the brakes on.<br />
<a href="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/07dd9ebc-963a-4f11-a0d9-9d78781c6b2b.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2849" title="07dd9ebc-963a-4f11-a0d9-9d78781c6b2b" src="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/07dd9ebc-963a-4f11-a0d9-9d78781c6b2b.jpeg" alt="07dd9ebc-963a-4f11-a0d9-9d78781c6b2b" width="400" height="300" /></a><br />
Not one member of the seven-man Arab crew was smart enough<br />
to throttle back the engines from their max power setting,<br />
so the $200 million brand-new aircraft crashed into a blast barrier, totalling it.<br />
The extent of injuries to the crew is unknown due to the<br />
news blackout in the major media<br />
<a href="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/bc335540-0a99-44d5-91b3-f68e4a00ec62.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2845" title="bc335540-0a99-44d5-91b3-f68e4a00ec62" src="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/bc335540-0a99-44d5-91b3-f68e4a00ec62.jpeg" alt="bc335540-0a99-44d5-91b3-f68e4a00ec62" width="400" height="300" /></a><br />
This was because coverage of the story was deemed insulting to Muslim Arabs.<br />
Finally, the photos are starting to leak out.<br />
<a href="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/d33cc50d-f1e7-4716-a327-026dca16aefb.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2844" title="d33cc50d-f1e7-4716-a327-026dca16aefb" src="http://www.kingofforwards.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/d33cc50d-f1e7-4716-a327-026dca16aefb.jpeg" alt="d33cc50d-f1e7-4716-a327-026dca16aefb" width="400" height="298" /></a><br />
$ 200 million aircraft meets wall. Wall wins.</p>
