Narrative:
The aircraft was parked on Stand B22; the passengers had disembarked and the crew were completing their post-flight duties when they felt the aircraft lurch violently. A Charlatte tug with a baggage dolly hooked to the rear of it had struck the aircraft on the lower part of the right forward fuselage between the baggage hold door and the forward service door. Subsequent inspection revealed a skin puncture about 3 feet 6 inches long and between 1 and 10 inches wide. The ramp surface condition was dry and the ambient lighting was good. No one was injured in the accident.
