## Narrative

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

(-23) THE CAPTAIN ON THE REGIONAL JET FLIGHT WITH 49 PASSENGERS, STARTED ONLY ONE ENGINE AND TURNED SHARPLY OUT OF PARKING IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE DEPARTURE GATE.  THE AIRCRAFT THEN STOPPED FACING SOUTH INTO A STRONG WIND WITH THE NOSE WHEEL PRESUMABLY TURNED AND THE TAIL POINTING AT THE GATE.  REPORTS INDICATE THE CAPTAIN AS RUSHING THE TAXI PROCEDURE AND BARELY GAVE THE GROUND CREW TIME TO DO THEIR JOB.  THEY INDICATE HE THEN USED AND EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF POWER TO BEGIN THE TAXI FROM WHERE HE STOPPED.  THE JET BLAST MOVED A 220 POUND BAGGAGE CART WHICH STRUCK A GROUND POWER UNIT, AND THEN BECAME AIRBORNE.  THE CART IS ESTIMATED TO HAVE BEEN BLOWN 15 FEET IN THE AIR, COMING TO LAND 65 FEET FROM ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION.  IT THEN SLIDE A SHORT DISTANCE WHERE IT STRUCK A RAMP WORKER.  THE WORKER SUBSEQUENTLY PASSED OUT AND WAS STILL NON-RESPONSIVE WHEN SAFETY MEDICAL ATTENTION ARRIVED A SHORT TIME LATER.  THE WORKER WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND RELEASED LATER THAT DAY.  THE FLIGHT CONTINUED TO THE RUNWAY AND TOOK OFF WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

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.
