Aircraft was being taxied to the MX hangar by two mechanics. Not sure what exactly transpired. The rumor is that the airplane is totaled due to forward pressure vessel and wing spar damage. The aircraft had been online for only a month with SWA. I'm guessing the mechanics found out the hard way what 70-80% N1 does when the airplane is empty and has minimal fuel on board.
