I'm still trying to understand the typical way that these tests are run.
Is somebody always stitting in a seat prepared to handle an emergency like an unexpected release of the brakes?
Do we still accept yesterday's report of somebody falling over a pedastal?
13 sec seems like a long time if the guy in a typical command seat is able to reach the throttles and put a foot on a brake. I suppose that they might have been playing musical chairs at the time, I ve even seen this happen in flight by pure accident with both pilots standing up at the same time and running into each other. I'm still puzzled why any such abnormal situation couldn't be corrected in a reasonable amount of time.
