## 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 LAX94LA208](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX94LA208), May 2, 1994: Bell UH-1L (N204RW), Pleasant Grove, CA, destroyed. Probable cause: the pilot's failure to see and avoid the power lines due to sun glare from the rising sun at dawn.
