## 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 NYC93LA163](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/NYC93LA163), Aug 19, 1993: Cessna 172 (N9845J), Hope Valley, RI, substantial damage. Probable cause: The engine failure as the result of ingestion of pieces of carburetor into the cylinders, and the subsequent forced landing and nose over during the landing roll after encountering soft terrain.
