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.

While preparing for meal service, a FA pulled out a beverage cart from its stowed position in the aft galley and it immediately toppled over onto the foot of another FA that was in area. The injured FA was unable to continue her duties and the flight diverted to a closer airport without further incident. The flight attendant was transported to the hospital and diagnosed with an open fracture of her right foot. There were no reported malfunctions or failures with the beverage cart.
