This has been a known problem in DC's for a LONG time. Surprised its still happening.

Everything is falling apart on humans in 2026. Been happening for a few years now. Quality is gone. Cutting corners is the new thing. Even when it's life threatening.

@Quint_Beastwood MD11 is an old airplane from early 90s with same basic airframe and overall design from 70s DC10.

That seems to be a problem with those tail mounted engines.

Anyone else here old enough to remember all the DC 10 jet crashes because of that?

@Cripple As someone in aviation, I’m very familiar with various airplane models and their histories. American Airlines Flight 191 DC10 in 1979 had similar pylon failure where the engine separated from the airplane. However, in that accident, the engine separation severed both the primary and secondary hydraulic lines, causing the left slats and flaps to retract. That led to an unrecoverable roll to the left and the airplane crashed. The newer MD11 made improvements with hydraulic system so that wouldn't happen again. Both the DC10 and MD11 are capable of climbing with just two engines. However, in the UPS MD11 accident, when the engine separated, the left engine flew over the fuselage and the debris from the separated engine stalled the center tail-mounted engine. With only one remaining engine producing thrust, the UPS MD11 was unable to maintain climb and ultimately crashed.
