## FAA reports on this event (1)

The FAA's own accident and incident reports, matched to the aircraft by N-number and date (OpenAirDocs).

- [Incident 19790624016599I](https://openairdocs.org/incident/19790624016599I), Jun 24, 1979: Lkheed 1011385115, Atlanta, GA. Engine torched during start, motored to extinguish. Unknown persons ordered evacuation. 12 people hurt.

## Other investigations on N724DA (2)

From the NTSB's public API. Aircraft are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported serial number, make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

- [NTSB MIA95LA086](https://openairdocs.org/ntsb/MIA95LA086), Mar 12, 1995: Lockheed L-1011-385 (N724DA), San Juan, PR, minor damage. Probable cause: THE TUG OPERATOR OF ANOTHER AIRPLANE COMMENCING PUSHBACK PROCEDURES WITHOUT CLEARANCE TO DO SO FROM THE DISPATCHING AGENT, RESULTING IN AN ON-GROUND COLLISION BETWEEN BOTH AIRPLANES.
