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.

N2727V accepted runway 30 and was cleared to land. N2727V bounced four times on runway 30, and on the last bounce that tail of the aircraft made contact with the runway. The nose wheel was bent in four places on right side, and bent tail tie down.
