## 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 ATL06LA024](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ATL06LA024), Dec 14, 2005: Boeing 727-2S2F (N213FE), Memphis, TN, substantial damage. Probable cause: The improper towing of the airplane by the tug operator which resulted in the shearing of the towbar shear pin and subsequent collision of the airplane and tug.

## FAA accident and incident reports (3)
