A long shot, but airport fire trucks could be rushed to the scene to prevent the plane from moving. At a low taxi speed, a firetruck placed in front of the aircraft would surely prevent it from being able to move forward. This is an uninformed opinion, I have no knowledge of this area, hence why I merely suggest it. It would probably only really work on a smaller plane anyway.

I guess not too many people would be willing to go near an active plane?
