## The NTSB's investigation of this event (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 CHI00LA245](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/CHI00LA245), Aug 5, 2000: Cessna 152 (N7385W), Arthur, ND, substantial damage. Probable cause: the water contamination found in the fuel and the pilot misjudging his altitude during the emergency procedure. A factor was the terrain condition of the corn crop.
