## 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 FTW98IA196](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/FTW98IA196), Apr 30, 1998: Douglas DC-8-51 (N507DC), Brownsville, TX, incident, no damage. Probable cause: The flightcrew experienced physical impairment resulting from an accumulation in the cockpit of carbon dioxide fumes produced by dry ice, a hazardous material, carried in the main cargo compartment.
