## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: N961DL ON FLIGHT 1174/25 AT APPROXIMATELY 2200 WAS STRUCK BY PASSING EMPLOYEE BUS AS IT WAS PUSHED BACK FROM GATE POSITION. NO INJURIES. A/C REMOVED FROM SERVICE AND LEFT WING TIP REPLACED BY DAL MAINTENANCE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
