LOS ANGELES — A plane getaway.
An empty American Airlines Boeing 767 rolled into a fence at Los Angeles International Airport Wednesday morning.
The jet was near the hangar area. Twenty feet of the nose smashed through the fence, blocking part of a street.
An airport spokesman says there will be an investigation to see if the parking brake was properly set. The plane had been parked overnight for maintenance.

The full quote is even more astonishing:
The shoes were blown up by police, even after it was determined they were not dangerous and contained no explosives.
Wasn't that a Monty Python skit ?

I love the last bit, “Airport police are investigating the incident.”
What are they going to do, take the DC-10 into a back room and sweat out a confession?
“Alright Mr. 10, you’re trying to hijack yourself, right? Who’s in this with you? We have a witness that will testify that you getting real friendly a MD-80 in an airport bar last night!”

Maybe the aeroplane wanted to try life as an automobile for a while.

A chock! a chock! my kingdom for a chock!
The ultimate insult?
Apparently it got clamped too, and they couldn't move it back!

Las Vegas: Several years ago Northwest Airlines switched to "contract" maintenance there and at several other western US cities. I won't mention which other major airline got the job in Las Vegas-we all make mistakes.
Never mind the condition of many jets which come from "outsourced" (especially non-airline) maintenance facilities, which do work at very low bids and fast inspection times. You would not want any family members riding on some of these Part 91 ferry flights.

There's nothing funny about Irish terror attacks. Even when they 'go wrong' they still kill people. Are you one of those people from the 'guns' thread who thinks the English have never had to suffer terrorist attacks?
Yes! Jokes about Gay Black Polish people are acceptable!
