## Narrative

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

(-23) ON 08/23/2007 AT APPROXIMATELY 7:30 PM A CONTINENTAL AIRLINE BOEING 737-500 WS DIVERTED FROM ATLANTA HARTSFIELD AIRPORT ENROUTE FROM HUSTOR DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER IN AND AROUND ATLANTA. UPON LANDING AT TYS SIDA BADGE NUMBER 15815, WAS ACTING AS GROUND MARSHALL AND TAXIED THE CRAFT INTO THE JETBRIDGE. AS THE AIRCRAFT TAXIED IN, THE LEFT WING MOUNTED ENGINE STRUCK THE END OF THE JETBRIDGE. DAMAGE TO THE AIRCRAFT APPEARS TO BE LIMITED TO THE LEADING EDGE OF THE ENGINE INTAKE. THERE IS NO DISCERNABLE DAMAGE TO THE JETBRIDGE OR OTHER AIRPORT PROPERTY. ALTHOUGH THERE WERE 95 PASSENGERS AND 5 CREW MEMBERS ONBOARD, THERE WERE NO REPORTS OF INJURY FROM ANYONE.

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.
