Narrative:

I was flying aircraft as first officer, a BE1900D, on the return portion of flight from lebanon, nh, to philadelphia, PA, on oct/sat/96, at XX00 am. After engine start the captain and myself performed the after start checklist. After the after start checklist, I called ground control for taxi clearance and IFR clearance to phl. After the taxi clearance we received, the captain released the parking brake, and without additional power, allowed the aircraft to advance approximately 1 ft before applying the right rudder. The nosewheel castered to the right and continued right until the nosewheel collapsed. The captain shut down the engines and executed the shutdown checklist while I evacuate/evacuationed the aircraft through the front exit. All 11 passenger evacuate/evacuationed without injury.
