Respect+++++ for pilots of United Airlines flight 232. The fact that they were able to control an almost uncontrollable plane, still managed to make an emergency landing with it without flaps and without landing gear, and at the same time approximately 60% (185 peoples) of the people on board survived, is a true miracle. R.I.P to the 111 people who died in this accident.

2:36 this crash was the deadliest in aviation history until Tenerife in 1977

[@pooryorick831]

Unsure why the Turkish Airlines crash is not number 1. It was the deadliest crash of a DC-10 in history. It's also one of the worst plane crashes of any kind in history. At the time it was THE worst crash in history and remained so until March 1977 when two 747s collided on the runway at tenerife. And, like the Tenerife crash, it was entirely avoidable. Unlike Tenerife however, it smacked of corruption. It was the the lax attitude toward safety at the top at McDonnell Douglas and the cozy relationship between MD and the FAA that led to a known problem going unfixed after a similar incident involving an American Airlines DC-10 in 1972. It was this same "profits over people" attitude that followed McDonnell Douglas executives over to Boeing when the two companies merged. The same attitude that ultimately led to the 737 MAX fiasco. We can see little tendrils of recent history reaching all the way from the 1970s to the present day. I find it fascinating. I also hope someone reads my little essay all the way to the end. If you did, thank you. :-)

[@RBMapleLeaf]

Just note the pilots of Turkish 981 could recover but again that would be unrealistic I say that because American Airlines 96 somehow recovered even with the cargo door out

[@damlatorun6756]

⁠@@RBMapleLeafIk this reply is very old but I think 981 had total loss of hydraulics (nothing worked, the plane was completely uncontrollable) and 96 had a little bit left, and were very lucky Correct me if I’m wrong

[@ati2010-c7f]

​@@RBMapleLeafActually I think the American airlines had few passengers (less than 100)and they didn't lose all hydraulic fluid that's why pilots were able to control it, but Turkish airlines all hydraulic was lost, so it was possible to control it

My first and only DC-10 flight was on July 12, 1976, from LAX to Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong. We were on a Charter flight (Trans International Airlines) and made a stopover in Anchorage. Minutes after takeoff, I see fuel being dumped over Dutch Harbor as we returned back to ANC. The DC-10-30 CF suffered an engine problem, requiring a part to be expedited from St.Louis. TIA gave us a free room at the Hilton overnight, and those who declined the stay received a future travel voucher, while they camped out in the airport waiting lounges. Mom was not comfortable returning on the same airline, so we took a JAL 747 on our return flight. The final approach to Kai Tak was so harrowing and close to buildings, I actually saw a couple having sex in their wide-open bedroom. Good times…

## The DC-10: A History of Innovation and Controversy The McDonnell Douglas DC-10 is a wide-body trijet airliner that was developed and manufactured by McDonnell Douglas in the 1970s. It was the first wide-body trijet airliner to enter commercial service, and it remained in production for over 20 years. The DC-10 was designed to meet the growing demand for long-haul air travel, and it quickly became a popular choice for airlines around the world. The DC-10 was first introduced in 1971 by American Airlines. It was initially offered in two passenger configurations: the DC-10-10, which could seat up to 380 passengers, and the DC-10-30, which could seat up to 270 passengers. The DC-10 also had a convertible passenger/cargo configuration, the DC-10-30CF. The DC-10 was powered by three General Electric CF6-6D turbofan engines. It had a maximum cruising speed of 576 mph and a range of up to 6,100 miles. The DC-10 was also equipped with a number of advanced features for its time, including a two-person cockpit, a glass cockpit, and an inertial navigation system. The DC-10 was a commercial success for McDonnell Douglas. It was ordered by over 380 airlines worldwide, and it was delivered to over 130 airlines. The DC-10 was used on a variety of routes, including long-haul flights across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as well as shorter regional flights. However, the DC-10 was also involved in a number of accidents, some of which were fatal. In 1979, an American Airlines DC-10 crashed near Chicago, killing all 271 people on board. In 1989, a United Airlines DC-10 crashed near Sioux City, Iowa, killing 111 people. The remaining 185 people on board survived. The accidents involving the DC-10 led to a number of safety modifications to the aircraft. These modifications included strengthening the wing pylons and adding a cargo door locking mechanism. The accidents also led to changes in the way that DC-10s were operated, such as requiring airlines to use a two-person cockpit crew. Despite the accidents, the DC-10 remained in service with many airlines until the early 2000s. The last DC-10 was retired from commercial service in 2014. ### The DC-10's Legacy The DC-10 was a significant aircraft in the history of aviation. It was the first wide-body trijet airliner to enter commercial service, and it played a major role in the growth of long-haul air travel. The DC-10 was also a pioneer in the use of advanced aviation technology. However, the DC-10's legacy is also tarnished by the accidents that involved the aircraft. These accidents led to safety modifications and changes in operating procedures, but they also raised questions about the design of the aircraft. Overall, the DC-10 was a complex and controversial aircraft. It was a commercial success for McDonnell Douglas, and it played a major role in the growth of long-haul air travel. However, the accidents that involved the aircraft also tarnished its legacy. ### The DC-10 in Detail The DC-10 was a wide-body trijet airliner with a distinctive three-engine configuration. The two outer engines were mounted on pylons under the wings, and the third engine was mounted at the base of the vertical stabilizer. This configuration gave the DC-10 a number of advantages over other airliners of its time, including: * Increased fuel efficiency: The three-engine configuration allowed the DC-10 to operate more efficiently on long-haul flights. * Improved performance: The three-engine configuration also gave the DC-10 better performance on take-off and landing. * Increased safety: The three-engine configuration allowed the DC-10 to continue flying even if one engine failed. The DC-10 was also a very versatile aircraft. It could be used for a variety of roles, including: * Long-haul passenger flights: The DC-10 was a popular choice for long-haul passenger flights, such as flights across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. * Regional passenger flights: The DC-10 was also used for shorter regional passenger flights. * Cargo flights: The DC-10 could also be used for cargo flights. ### The DC-10's Accidents

Yes it's one of my favorites, but the DC-10(I like to call it Death Carrier 10) is very Deadly, it's one of the most dangerous and it made the Concorde crash because a piece of metal in the DC-10 flew out and the Concorde took off and the one of the tires ran to the metal then burst into flames, made the N2 engine failed, it lost speed and crashed. Also I like the Turkish Airlines old/retro livery.

There was a report, years after the accident, that the Turkish DC-10 was not caused by a door blow-out, but was actually the result of a terrorist bomb on the plane. You rated the AA 191 accident as the worst with 271 fatalities when the Turkish plane plane accident caused the deaths of 346. RIP to all who have lost their lives in these accidents.

[@Musicenjoyer912]

@James Waters , there is no info on that on google for the dc 10 Turkish bombing. But the second thing is right , Turkish airlines 981 was deadlier than AA 191

I agree. It was a one-time report on media. I saw it and made a mental note of it. No official change to the cause of the accident was made, to my knowledge.

[@ozgcagj6947]

[@rojovo74]

AA 191 actually had 273 fatalities as the plane also took out 2 people on the ground. Kinda suprised that Delta 191 wasn't included in this...137 fatalities with only 20-somehing survivors. Caused by combination of inclement weather and pilot error, or error in judgment might be more accurate. Had they aborted the landing, that accident would've never happened. On the plus side, it allowed for valuable information so that they could develop and implement better equipment so that something similar wouldn't happen in the future.

How strange that this wonderful aircraft, a direct competitor of the elite flying eyesore the 747, had countless accidents. The dc10 with only three engines could sustain such a spectacular fuselage and also with a fuel saving of 25% compared to the eyesore 747. Too strange. We came to the conclusion that he was a victim of constant sabotage and it is not difficult to perceive where it came from...

[@cchris874]

I'm not so sure it had a worse accident rate that the 747. For whatever reason I love the look of the 747. The DC-10 was said to be handsome, but I admit that years of bias has formed a rather negative view of this plane. I cannot disassociate with the Turkish DC-10 crash. To me its very design symbolizes horror. The picture of a coffin shaped model of it on the cover of a book (The Rise and Fall of the DC-10) did little to help me discard that bias.
