This 359-seat Airbus 380-600, ready for delivery to Etihad, the National Airline of the United Arab Emirates, was undergoing final static tests of its four 56,000 lb. thrust engines when something went very wrong. Etihad will be waiting for the first of its six $319.2 million 380s for just a bit longer.

This is probably the first $300 million accident in aviation history where no one was killed, although five people were injured.

What Do You Think?
