I have seen amatuer video of the accident twice, on the local news and the Lancs engines were all running when the propellers struck the Dakota's wing. It doesn't seem that there was a brake failure as the Lancaster came to an abrupt halt after passing over the Dakota's wing. The president of the CWH stated in the paper that the Lanc has a bent propeller and dented cowling on its outer starboard engine.
It is interesting that there appeared to be no wing walkers or marshallers around the Lancaster, the CWH ramp being fairly busy on weekends.
