Read the full NTSB narrative
The airplane was chocked, the seat belt sign had been turned off, and the passengers were disembarking. As the operator of a belt-loader approached the airplane, he tested the brakes, and they operated normally. When the belt-loader was about 3-4 feet from the airplane, the belt-loader operator again applied the brakes; however, they were either jammed or stuck, and would not work. He switched the transmission into neutral, but the belt-loader continued to roll forward, until it struck the fuselage of the airplane. The belt-loader operator further stated that he did not think to use the emergency brake. Post-accident examination of the belt-loader revealed no mechanical discrepancies.
