This goes back a few years...

A310 outside hangar doing engine run ups.

At some point during run up the aircraft had enough power on to jump the chocks.

No brakes. No nosegear steering.

Throttles back but momentum had taken over. Aircraft goes nose first into stand/jack storage building on the side of the ramp.

No injuries. Lots and lots of damage.
