## Narrative

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

(-23) WHILE AIRCRAFT TAXIING TO GATE 10 THE GUIDEMAN GUIDED THE AIRCRAFT WITH ONLY ONE WING WALKER ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT AND THE LEFT WING WALKER WAS NOT IN HIS REQUIRED POSITION. THE LEFT WING STRUCK THE AIRCRAFT CONTAINER LOADER THAT WAS PARKED IN THE AREA. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE PASSENGERS DEPLANED ON RAMP VIA REAR ENTRANCE DOOR STAIRS AND WALKED TO THE TERMINAL.

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.
