Aviation safety reports, made easier to study
NTSB Reports is an independent research and search tool for public aviation accident and incident records. It brings NTSB aviation reports, structured fields, docket files, extracted figures, photos, videos, and update history into one searchable interface.
The goal is practical safety education: make it faster to find relevant investigations, compare similar events, review factual records, and understand the evidence behind probable-cause and preliminary reports.
The investigative work and source records belong to the National Transportation Safety Board and the published investigation record. This site is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NTSB.

During pushback, the flight attendant stated that she was contacted by the lead flight attendant who asked if the crew rest area was secure. The attendant answered yes and looked to check again and found the door ajar. Fearing a passenger may have gone in she went over and climbed the stairs and checked the rest area. On her way down she believes she misplaced a foot on the narrow stairs and fell down breaking her arm in three places. After a few seconds she got up and contacted the lead flight attendant who contacted the captain and the aircraft was towed back to the gate.
NTSB Probable Cause
The flight attendant's inadvertent misstep on a ladder and falling during pushback resulting in serious injuries.
