I would not be because of of all the crashes I’ve heard about them like the American DC-10 crash near Ohare a long time ago.

No, I wouldn’t risk my life going on an unsafe plane, it’s design has many flaws in it, I mean I would if the plane were doing circuits.

Are you counting the ones that died on the Concorde from a DC10 part that fell off?

I understand how low the chances are, although that’s a bit too many people killed by a curtain plane in 20 years.

Once the early crashes were taken care of, the DC-10 was a good plane. Flew on quite a few years ago, and yes I would absolutely fly another one.

Actually the major crashes happened throughout the the time of production. One in 1972, 1974, 1979, 1989.

I think people discredit the plane too much, even the 777 which is considered the gold standard has had hull loss incidents.

Could you explain? Usually I see people say that when there’s a pun, but there is no pun.
