It is easily enough done. I once (2002) started up, and looked down for a bit, then looked up and found the plane had moved about 10 yards! Luckily nothing was in the way and this was a useful early lesson.

How this particular incident happened I have no idea. Very sad, given that both planes must be writeoffs, worth nothing except for the breakup value.
