Not familiar with BHD at all, but it sounds like the aircraft were parked into wind. This is quite a normal procedure with the gale force winds that we've seen around the UK lately.

When parked nose into gate a gale force wind could spin an aircraft into wind, with devastating effects to the aircraft itself, the ones parked next to it and anyone around it.
