I agree with ROSSCO328.

I was told it was jamed power leavers. Had a couple myself in the Dornier. Its most likely to happen whe the FO is flying due to the angle he has to pull. If the levers are not entirely flush they WILL jam. The natural action is to pull some more jamming them even more, making it very difficult to unjam them.

In that situation the engines are still prducing a lot of power and almost impossible to stop on brakes alone.

The only correct procedure as soon as a jammed condition is noticed, is to move them forward and then calmly back to detent and then lift the latches and try again. On a short rwy like lcy the procedure is to use brute force and showe them ou tof the jam and go around. The aircraft will then quickly leap in to the air......
