Circumstances:
Two engineers took over the airplane for an engine test run at Xi'an Airport. While parked on the apron, the aircraft started to roll on a slippery ground and eventually collided with the main terminal. Both occupants escaped uninjured while the aircraft was damaged beyond repair. It was reported that snow fell during the preceding days and that the tarmac was slippery.
