Scary!
About a year ago a Northwest Airlines DC-9 lost all hydraulic power while taxing to the gate in Minneapolis, leaving the pilots powerless to control steering and breaking. At the same time, a Northwest A319 had pushed off the gate and was just about to taxi out for take-off when the DC-9 ran into the plane, pushing it some sixty feet. Here is a link to some amazing video caught by an airport security camera of the accident.
And people wonder why we get pissy about you leaving your seatbelt fastened until we're parked at the gate. ANYTHING can happen.
