If they were testing the brakes aginst full power, it would be prudent to point the aircraft at an empty area, not a building.

Maybe next time they do a brake test, they'll point the bird down the runway.

Perhaps it has the same problem that SUVs have here. Independent behavior unrelated to the intent of the driver?

“The accident happened when the airplane’s four engines were throttled up and the brakes applied. Airbus Chief Operating Officer Fabrice Bregier said that the plane lurched into the barrier and wall “for reasons still unknown.”
hmmmm I COULD be wrong but its my guess that the engines produced more GO than the brakes produced STOP. Just a guess though.
