Accidents and incidents - Excessive detail[edit]
As the first two examples (American Airlines Flight 96 and Turkish Airlines Flight 981) directly relate to the cargo door design problem mentioned above, and describe subsequent modifications, I believe they should be left in. The rest could perhaps be moved to a dedicated page, as is the case for the Antonov An-12 --NthDegOp (talk) 17:54, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
- Splitting to a dedicated article could be too much, I was thinking about trimming the summary for each accident to 1 paragraph each, and moving the details in individual articles.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 07:27, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
- You have a valid idea and I've gone ahead and done it with AA96 and UA232, but AA191 will be difficult to summarize in a single paragraph, because the summary actually discusses two separate but related topics: the crash itself, and the resultant withdrawal of the type certificate.

- Done.--Marc Lacoste (talk) 12:42, 17 September 2020 (UTC)
One incident which could be mentioned is the CP Air DC-10 V1 engine failure at CYVR in the early 1980s. It's memorable because real-life V1 engine failure data is so rare, yet so important for certification and pilot training. Henrilebec (talk) 22:40, 27 November 2023 (UTC)
DC-10[edit]
The image I still retain in my mind of this aircraft is that of 4 twin engines attached to the body at the back behind wings .I always loved watching it fly over my primary school in the 1960s (70kms) north of Nairobi). What I see in your photo as dc10 is a 3 engine one of the 1970. Feel abit disappointed . 41.81.171.53 (talk) 13:51, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- You're probably remembering the Vickers VC-10 (which did have four engines mounted on the rear fuselage, and would have flown over Kenya in the mid-to-late 1960s.Nigel Ish (talk) 14:02, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- An early 1960s DC-10 concept had four engines on the wings and double-deck wide-body fuselage. The 3-engine DC-10 first flew in 1970 and entered service the next year. -Fnlayson (talk) 14:18, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
- Or it might have been a Soviet Ilyushin Il-62M (similar in appearance to the VC-10) which was in regular service at that time.Henrilebec (talk) 22:29, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

"Death Chamber 10"[edit]
I've seen vandalism of the DC-10's page in which it refered to the Douglas Commercial DC-10 as the Death Contraption. Please, do not place the planes nickname on the page, as it is opinionated. Forevernewyes (talk) 23:12, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- I would also like to follow up stating that it is not an official nickname. Forevernewyes (talk) 06:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- There is no "official" nickname, i.e. manufacturer's nickname. Just Revert and Deny recognition for obvious vandalism. -Fnlayson (talk) 17:49, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah I know that the DC-10 doesnt have a offical nickname, the person doing it was an unregistered user and got blocked from editing Forevernewyes (talk) 17:57, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
