I'm interested in the time duration to duplicate this accident vs the sequence of failures.
I assume that at the initiation point that the aircraft is sitting on its brakes at near full thrust. then something happens to the brakes and it starts rolling. Why can't you just chop the engines in 5 secs or so and that would be enough to keep it from going that far over a barrier in front of you. And that brings up another point, why is there a barrier in front instead of behind to deflect the thrust?
I really don't have any idea how they do these tests vs what could go wrong to explain the level of accident that resulted here.
