Take off and hover for Approx. 40 seconds. Drone runs up to full power and fly's into the side of a building. Just upgraded to latest firmware. Incident lasted for2 seconds before battery ejected on crash. Camera and gimble were seperated from drone, broken rear right arm , ejected and damaged battery. Put in new battery and drone powers up fine. Comments?

Looks like a compass error on takeoff, but would require the log to confirm.
No, not compass. Log shows "Max power reached" yet ECS "not enough force" error. The entire incident from takeoff to crash was maybe 5 seconds. Hover, full power and crash in less than 5 seconds.
 
The obvious seems like a loose Prop but never under estimate the Havoc that a compass error can play on the drone.
Magnetic interference is brutal and happens quickly but this seems more like motors.

Did you take off the Props and put them on from the last flight ?

That's fully characteristic of a compass error of around 180°.

Trust sar104.

Go here Mavic Flight Log Retrieval and Analysis Guide section 3, and get your txt file for the flight and post that up as an attachment . . . or grab it, go to DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help and upload the file, then post a link to the page here.

Your issue is most likely that you powered up the drone where the compass was deflected by some steel nearby.
On powering up the gyro sensor takes its initial values from the compass.
When the drone gets away from the steel object, the compass returns to normal, but the gyro sensor still has the false value it picked up when it was initialised.

When you turn the drone, it has a problem because of conflicting directional data from the compass and gyro and the trouble starts.

It would help with analysis if you could share the Airdata report rather than just a screenshot of part of it.
A description of your launch spot would also be good.
