RIGHT OUTBOARD TIRE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED.  DAMAGE OCCURRED TO RIGHT OUTBOARD LANDING GEAR DOOR, BOTTOM OF WING (PUNCTURE), WING ACCESS PANEL, TWO ATTACHING TUBES, (ONE BENT AND THE OTHER BROKEN).

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.
