Default Airplane Taxies Into Car: Video Footage

The question that comes to mind is, couldn't the pilot just say "unable"?

Question is, "Why in hell was a car parked on the taxiway? What airshow
allowed it?


I may have some facts incorrect, but the main story is as follows:

This happened several years ago in New England at a Naval Air Station
airshow. The warbirds were told by the Navy not to "S" turn while
taxiing. Of course, the officer who issued that directive managed to
park his car in the middle of the taxi way. The Navy paid for the
subsequent repairs.
