Very interesting reading here and I would put money on that incident NOT being the last of its kind,as said further up the post,it happened because it COULD happen.One A340-600 operator (not VS which may narrow it down!) had a similair incident when the park brake was activated instead of the taxi camera,the switches are fairly close together on the centre console,oops.Several bangs later....Theres a pic on airliners.net for the curious,right where was I? Oh yes,whether it was intentionally designed to prevent little 'oops' moments or not I dont know but the B744 method of fully applying the brakes before being able to set the park brake seems more 'Murphy's' proof. (Thats the law,not the beer)
