## NTSB investigations (2)

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 CHI00FA244](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI00FA244), Aug 16, 2000: Boeing 727-264 (N764AT), Chicago, IL, substantial damage. Probable cause: the fractured tow bar and the inadequate weld of the tow bar by an unknown person.
- [NTSB MIA95LA196](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA95LA196), Aug 6, 1995: Boeing 727-264 (N764AT), Orlando, FL, substantial damage. Probable cause: THE FAILURE OF THE GROUND CREW TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES/DIRECTIVES REQUIRING THAT THE AIRPLANE BRAKES BE SET BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE TOW BAR FROM THE AIRPLANE.
