Delta 737 Rolls Off Taxiway
ATLANTA -- No one was injured when a Delta plane rolled off a taxiway and into an embankment at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Tuesday morning. Two Delta maintenance workers were testing the engines on the 737 aircraft shortly after 5 a.m. when the brakes failed and the plane began to move, according to Delta spokesman Eric Torgenson.

rollin rollin rollin, keep those jets a rollin.
It's funny how the article makes it sound like the plane decided to move on it's own.
Well, there were two maintenance guys in it, and the brakes failed. So - it kinda did.
Yup,you got it girl.
This screams HUMAN ERROR to me!
N309DE was the aircraft and is now flying routes...
Doubtful
Look on the tail CLEARLY 309DE

This ship won't be flying routes for a while. It'll be in the hangar for a month having NDT done on its landing gear and checks on its brakes, and it'll need a new #1 engine hung, maybe #2 as well. This little accident probably costing millions to repair - and I expect the crew who were working on it are all on paid leave pending an investigation. Serious stuff.
