Writing style. Not reading into …too much. The writing style and presentation is what provokes, since you asked. 
 

Peace. 

 

 That didn't take long. 

 

Actually I didn't ask anything at all.

Is is possible the membership is reading to much into what's been shared?

 

 

 

That’s a question.

Dad used to say progress is a great idea America gave up on and sold to Japan that they perfected and sold back to us. I think father might be right. Only in principle. It hasn't a nationality.

It's Rhetorical 

Not actually a question asking for comment, Is it?

Deming couldn’t sell excellence in quality to US corporations so they tested it on restoring Japanese production. General McArthur was the driver of that. 
Only until Japanese cars interrupted the hold Detroit had on our cars production did SIX SIGMA take a hold in corporate America.

Who knows?  We can only read what you write and emphasize with art.

An empirical question seeks to obtain information through observation or experimentation, while a rhetorical question is asked for effect, not to elicit an answer. Rhetorical questions often emphasize a point or provoke thought rather than gather data. Florida International University Wikipedia

 

Are you telling me that a college ed-u-ma-ca-ded fellow like yourself with a degree and decades of human/science grounded work experience can't tell the difference ?

Sir, this is the internet. Are you new here? You will get a reply whether you want one or not, even if you didn't ask a question.

FAA grounded the MD11 fleet. The jet that crashed was a DC10 updated to MD11 configuration. Meaning flight engineer station was removed and computers take over flight engineer operation and both pilots monitor. 
The DC10 upgrades get winglets and new engines. Im not sure vertical stab has fuel system of MD11. At AA we sold DC10 and got MD11. The MD11 has more than enough power to takeoff with 2 engines but not of left wing is melting off. 
 

POOR MAINTENANCE PRACTICE can cause left and right engines to separate and we lost a DC10 in ORD in 1979 from that and pilot following procedure to a T that stalled the jet. This guy looks like he couldn’t get altitude or refused to for fear of stalling. Not sure which. 
 

They passed V1 speed before engine fire bell sounded so you'd normally continue takeoff and come back around while fighting fire. 
 

V1 allows for stopping on available runway. Past V1 you normally go. 
 

These jets must fly really fast to avoid stalling. At altitude they fly really fast and can accelerated stall in a very tight window. Low speed stall and high speed stall window is about 10 kts or so heavy. I exceeded speed of sound one time in a TRW in South America at altitude from turbulence before we could pull

auto throttles back. 
 

We cruised at .96 Mach most of the time. .04 from Mach1.

Left engine seperated from stress fractured fatigued engine mount. 
 

Why they are inspected frequently. How frequently I’m not sure. 
 

lots more to read on. Sad. Pilots and victims on ground didn’t have a chance. All because maintenance issues.

Saw that tonight on the News. Hard part to X-Ray or Zyglol. Odd position I mean.

Exactly Why it’s inspected periodically when removing engine and parts disassembled. Ever since the DC10 crash in 1979 they do that. No one has had it happen at any other airline I’m aware of. The poor devils never got above 30’ feet radio altitude and that sensor is located forward. Their damn tail and wing drug into the buildings. 
shame.

I remember where I was when that happened in 79. Sleeping on the floor at the Seattle airport. Our reserved room was given to customers stranded when the DC-10's were grounded.

Note the NTSB didn’t mention thrust on number two or number three engine that aircraft will fly on two engines so something else was going on maybe it farted the number two from the fireball as the engine separated plus they lost the slats and pylon in the front part of the wing and takeoff, but I thought I would’ve sucked that landing gear up as fast as I could get it up so I could cam out of there and get some speed up now you’re gonna need to find a place to crash straight ahead, but do it somewhere on the Ohio river in that area or or an open field don’t do it you know where people are we think about stuff like that as pilots. Or at least we did 15 years ago.

I know nothing about flying. From what I’ve seen. They were at full power for takeoff. Sudden loss of power from one engine causing extreme banking because of uneven thrust. Tilting the plane enough to make the wing hit the ground. Was there enough time for even a top level pilot to catch the pivot?
