## 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 ANC02IA007](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ANC02IA007), Dec 14, 2001: Douglas DC-8-71F (N825BX), Anchorage, AK, incident, no damage. Probable cause: The asymmetrical activation of the left wing spoiler due to a broken retraction cable during takeoff. A factor associated with the incident was the operator's inadequate inspection of the cable.
