Well here's a doozie. The image I posted previously was on a particular airplane. About an hour ago, I was working beneath a different airplane. One of my guys was under the other engine. I heard an engine start outside somewhere and go right to full power. I remarked out loud to my mechanic on the other side of the airplane: "yeah, go right to full power. That's a good idea."
The sound grew louder and by the time I could process what was happening, it hit. I got up immediately and when I turned around there was a wingtip protruding through the hangar door. I glanced at my buddy to be sure he was alright. Somehow he had gotten up onto the wing of the airplane we're working on to avoid injury.
When I walked outside, lo and behold the airplane that had struck the building was the very same airplane we had just done a pre-buy inspection on.
Here's the aftermath.
