Short version of story:
- Guy attempts to manually start up an airplane at night.
- Airplane does not have wheel stops on.
- Airplane moves foward at the planes "idle" propeller speed is 2000RPMS.
- Somehow guy gets tangled up on the end of plane.
- Plane drags him across runway, aiming right for the single most expensive plane at the airport (pictured).
- Turns that plane into a slinky
- Plane turns right and goes to second most expensive plane.
....after that I got a little lost and don;t feel like rereading. Maybe someone else can pick up my fumble and score?

I heard that it was a control tower error, and they told a larger prop plane to taxi to the runway this plane was going to, and the pilot of the larger plane cound't see the smaller plane and got it. Saying that a singe engine plane did this is absured. look at the damage, it's sliced mostly on the side. A single engine prop plane has the engine in the nose, and from nose to wingtip would only be 4-6 feet at most, so once the wing contacted the tail of this plane it would have changed the angle of the plane and caused them to collide.
A twin engine prop plane like a DC-8 or so is large enough to have it's wing go right over this plane but the props would be low enough to slice n dice anything from about 3 feet or higher off the ground.
