## 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 LAX93LA159](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/LAX93LA159), Mar 29, 1993: Cessna 172K (N758XY), Fresno, CA, substantial damage. Probable cause: the improper installation of an electrical wire bundle, and, the chaffing and subsequent arcing of the wires against a fuel line which resulted in a fire.
