NTSB Accident History (1)

Date	NTSB #	Damage	Highest Injury	Probable Cause
Aug 27, 2016	DCA16FA217	Substantial	None	A low-cycle fatigue crack in the dovetail of fan blade No. 23, which resulted in the fan blade separating in flight and impacting the fan case. This impact caused the fan blade to fracture into fragments that traveled farther than expected into the inlet, which compromised the structural integrity of the inlet and led to the in-flight separation of inlet components. A portion of the inlet struck the fuselage and created a hole, causing the cabin to depressurize.
