Why?
November 13, 1877 - Murphy's Law
It is found that anything that can go wrong at sea generally does go wrong sooner or later, so it is not to be wondered that owners prefer the safe to the scientific. It is also found that it is almost as bad to have too many parts as too few; that arrangements which are for exceptional and occasional use are rarely available when wanted, and have the disadvantage of requiring additional care.
The two aircraft were chocked, chained, wings folded, and no crew on board, when one of them suffered an uncommanded wing unfold, which caused the wing to come down and strike the spinning propeller of the other aircraft. There's no word on what caused the wing to start to unfold.

I don't know why, but wings don't usually go down by themselves. I've had the trunk open on the car with nobody even close. Didn't even have a remote control for it, just an electronic button in the glovebox. Something had to release the wing, maybe it was a ghost

The Depot has been at least as dangerous as anyone we've fought in recent years.
One Hawkeye’s starboard wing unfurled from a folded position and collided with the spinning port propeller of an adjacent Hawkeye
The one which unfolded the wing.
The accident occurred after the plane on the left was shut down and chained
No one was inside the aircraft with the wings that descended, but the aircrew was in the plane with the spinning propeller.
