    @Majakalona Tbf to the DC-10, many of the really infamous accidents it was involved in, wasn't plane failure (AAL191 was maintenance failure, ANZ901 was mixture of pilot error, bad weather, a negligence on the part of the airline, WAL2605 was pilot error); and the DC-9 was also involved in some deadly crashes (Viasa 742, Southern 242, Aeromexico 498, Valujet 592, Inex-Adria 450)
