I am of course no expert and its wise to wait until an investigation has been made before making any conclusion but.......
If the engineer pressed a starter switch in the cockpit shouldn't she of checked to make sure that both throttle levers are in the "idle" position before doing anything?
Correct me if i am wrong but the only way to start an engine is via the cockpit!
Unless of course the thrust levers were at idle and there was some sort of mechanical problem which caused the aircraft to move forward but only time & the NTSB will tell!
