From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry 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.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

(-5) During landing lax, a food cart came loose from it's stowed position and struck 7 passengers. Minor injuries (minor abrasions and bruises). No passenger of crew transported to the hospital. There was no aircraft damage. The aircraft and food cart were inspected by inspectors for the dala cmo. The brakes on the cart and the retaining device on the aircraft were in good working order. It appears the flight attendants may have failed to follow delta procedures to secure the cabin prior to landing.
