## NTSB investigations (4)

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 ENG12IA012](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/ENG12IA012), Feb 13, 2012: Mcdonnell Douglas MD-10-30F (N304FE), Portland, OR, incident, minor damage. Probable cause: The fracture of the fan mid shaft due to a stress corrosion cracking initiated by local regions of corrosion pitting, which resulted from oil migration within the shaft and its subsequent degradation.
