## NTSB investigations (1)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB FTW96FA060](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW96FA060), Dec 5, 1995: McDonnell Douglas 369E (N16089), Thibodaux, LA, destroyed, 1 fatal. Probable cause: failure of the pilot to maintain clearance from the power line and utility pole. The gusty/crosswind (weather) condition was a related factor.
