Default Delta 737 Off Taxiway at KATL

Saw a brief clip on the news this morning. Maintenance engine run or taxi-test; looked like it went over the embankment at the east end of the airfield, near the maintenance hangars. Looked expensive.

Ya think a "line check blitz" for mechanics is in order?

I say the baby fluf was influenced by the LUV flufs and was just trying to keep up. Cue the "if everyone else ran off a cliff, should you?" speech.

Yes we can. I personally saw two SWA guys replace the wheel chocks with kittens. Everyone knows kittens make poor chocks during engine runs.
