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.

The aircraft was parked at gate H3 of the msp airport terminal 2 (humphrey terminal). Deicing operations to remove frost were in process when a portion of the deice truck struck the #2 engine shroud. The incident occurred while the aircraft was stationary and fully boarded with passengers prior to a scheduled revenue flight. No injuries to any ground personnel, crewmembers, or passengers were reported. At the time of the incident, the jetbridge was still in place and up to the aircraft.
