To quote Scott Crossfield, after coasting into a hangar door.

"Chuck Yeagar may was the first pilot to break the sound barrier, but I'm the first to break the hangar door."

Saw a dumb A$$ try it in a 727. Shut all engines down, the APU took a crap, and guess what... The Brake Accumulator was shot. Off in the dirt she rolled. By the graces of the Sky Gods, there were no passengers on board, no buildings, vehicles or personnel in the way. I guess the crew forgot about the brake interconnect. Oh well.
