and a couple of photos of an airline that tells its staff and customers that it has never had an accident. They call this an incident because they spent more than the cost of a new aircraft to repair this one

Note the #3 engine has torn its pylon out of the wing resulting in a massive fuel leak over a hot engine


If you are seated next to an emergency exit on 99.99% of airlines you are told to make sure it is safe to exit before you open that exit. On skippy only the crew can open exits.

and on top of that the first pax off was over 14 minutes and last off was almost 22 minutes. Only the captain can order an evacuation. Who is in the seat that is first to arrive at the scene of the accident? Other airlines give the cabin crew the authority to order an evacuation and the standard requirement is everybody off within 90 seconds in case of fire.

Do not start your engine unless you have brake pressure and the brakes are locked on.

I've seen the aftermath of this happening first-hand.
We had one particular pilot who was always in a hurry. His normal practice was to start the aircraft while on chocks and leave it to warm up. Well, one day he couldn't find the chocks, so just pulled the park brake on a bit harder, and left it at 1500 RPM to warm up a bit quicker. When he got out to do something else, he knocked the park brake off, and the aircraft took off across the apron.
I heard a horrible crunch, (or really a series of crunches), and ran around the corner to see this Cessna 210 wedged into a cherokee with very similar damage to this one.
I'll never forget seeing this guy standing in the middle of the apron with his aircraft buried in another one.
