Hey Jeff, are the brakes on a plane strong enough to hold the plane back with the engines at full throttle?

Yes, but I believe there is a minimum weight to do a full power run up with all 4 engines. I really don't have all the details, but it is obvious the brakes failed.

WOW! I would of never guess they could hold it back. I could see where the minimum weight would come into play.
So to sum it up they brake raced this thing and it took off?

I am sure they do engine run ups all the time, but this one went bad.
