Airplane Engine Test That Fails Miserably > Aviation

The Pakistani pilot wanted to test the engines of a Boeing 737 at full thrust before takeoff. Unfortunately the test caused other issues.

Why would a runway/taxiway/aircraft parking have paving stones like that?

Who the hell taxis a 737 on a surface of one layer of brick over dirt, let alone does a power run?

Looks like it was a damaged ramp anyway. Look at the damage just behind the left main and under the belly.

Engines alone didn't cause it. They damned sure finished it though.

Wouldn't think a single layer of pavers over sand would support that kind of weight.

The taxiways at Stavanger are brick, although I presume there is more than just them and a dirt below.
