The DC-10's infamous cargo door was a grievously poor design choice, violating well-understood safety principles for the sake of a little more cargo space. It's everything you fear about psychopath executives rolling the dice on safety because what do they care?
The DC-10 deserved its ignominious reputation and the McDonnell-Douglas deserved every bit of the scorn they received and more.

- jussij 8y agoThat would also be my take on this situation. The fact remains two brand new, state of the art aircraft have some how managed to fall out of the sky and the best the builder of the plane can offer is the plane is safest plane ever. I don't see how that spin will not stick and I too suspect the public perception will grown to a point were this plane is also branded a lemon.
