N56O4T (INCIDENT AIRCRAFT) ESTABLISHED COMMUNICATION WITH CONTROLLER READY TO TAXI AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO TAXI TO RUNWAY 33 VIA TAXIWAYS C, K, AND J.  THE CONTROLLER MADE TWO ATTEMPTS TO ESTABLISH COMMUNICATIONS WITH EDV5103 TO DETERMINE IF THEY WERE STILL ABOVE IDLE SPEED AND RECEIVED NO REPLY.  THE CONTROLLER INSTRUCTED INCIDENT AIRCRAFT TO TURN LEFT ON TAXIWAY K AND J TO RUNWAY 33 AND HOLD SHORT OF RUNWAY 33 AT TAXIWAY J.  INCIDENT AIRCRAFT ADVISED CONTROLLER THAT "SOMETHING HAPPENED" TO THE AIRCRAFT AND THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO BE TOWED.

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.
