## Narrative

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

THE AIRCRAFT WAS BEING PUSHED OUT FOR DEPARTURE AT GATE B6 WHEN AN EMPLOYEE BUS HOLDING SHORT AT THE SERVICE ROAD INTERSECTION TO THE LEFT OF THE AIRCRAFT AT GATE B7 WAS STRUCK BY THE LEFT LOWER STRAKE OF THE SCIMITAR WINGLET. THE BUS WAS STATIONARY, AT A DESIGNATED STOP LOCATION AND THIS LOCATION WAS INSIDE OF THE AIRCRAFT SAFETY ZONE DURING THE PUSH BACK. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED ON THE AIRCRAFT OR THE BUS. THE PASSENGERS AND CREW DEPLANED VIA THE JET BRIDGE. THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION IS FORWARDED TO THE UAL CMO FOR THEIR DISPOSITION.

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.
