Are we to assume the individual conducting the engine run just sat there after it 'jumped the chocks', with his mouth hanging and eyes wide and did nothing?

Jumping the chocks, if it was indeed chocked, is one (very minor) problem...that the aircraft moved more than 10 or 20 feet beyond that is surprising. That it hit a substantial structure with enough force to do that damage is astounding
