## Narrative

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

WHILE TAXIING FOR DEPARTURE ON BRAVO, AN EMPTY BAGGAGE CONTAINER WAS BLOWN OFF A DOLLEY BY A DELTA AIRLINES AIRCRAFT, AND STRUCK THE LEFT SIDE FUSELAGE AND NUMBER 1 ( LEFT ) ENGINE OF UNITED AIRLINES N26208 REQUIRING STRUCTURAL REPAIRS TO THE FUSELAGE, WING TO BODY FAIRINGS, AND REPLACEMENT OF THE NUMBER 1 ENGINE NOSE COWL. ALL WORK DONE IAW B-737 SRM, AMM, AND UNITED AIRLINES ENGINEERING DOCUMENTS. THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE ON 04/13/2014. AIRPORT POLICE STATED TO THE FAA IIC THAT THE CONTAINERS WERE PROPERLY LATCHED TO THE DOLLY WHEN THE ONE CONTAINER WAS BLOWN OFF BY THE THRUST OF THE ENGINE. CONTACTED DELTA CMO OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR JOHN BROOKE WHO WILL FOLLOW UP WITH DELTA AIRLINES SAFETY DEPARTMENT. DELTA'S OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR ADVISED THAT THE CREW FILED AN ASAP REPORT AND THE ISSUE WAS HANDLED THROUGH THAT PROGRAM.

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.
