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.

(-23) Carrier ground crew personnel were in the break room upon aircraft arrival at gate C-11. A fuel truck that was fueling an aircraft at gate C-9 extended approximately 8 feet into the safety envelope of gate C-11. As a result of rushing and lack of preparation, the left wing of the aircraft was marshaled into the fuel truck.
