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.
Aircraft was parked at terminal gate and passengers were being loaded onto aircraft. Jet bridge failed and upon unwarrented lowering of the jet bridge the bridge stuck the L-2 door that was open to board passengers. On board passengers were evacuated through another door using air stairs.
