Ever heard of a brake system failure?
Yes, I have.
If it was a failure of the brake system that caused this accident, can we expect an ADD from Boeing shortly, Mr Monday?

Ever heard of a failure to SET the brakes? And chocks? Were they not sufficient to stop the aircraft rolling?
Or weren't they used?

What sort of pea brain is going to try to infer that a GROUND ACCIDENT could in some way become a FLIGHT SAFETY issue? My "after thought", as you phrase it, was to highlight the ludicrous inclusion of "flight" in what is OBVIOUSLY to all (except OBVIOUSLY BarryMonday) a GROUND event.

Unfortunate incident - yes, for Singapore Airlines, because of the damage done to one of their newest aircraft.
