@jojo12455 There's nothing that I like more than misinformation....the DC-10 cargo door design was faulty from the get go....look up the "Applegate Memorandum"...American Airlines Flight 96...Turkish Airlines Flight 981...then talk to me about the DC-10.
@pcressma No, there was a problem with the aircraft. However, if the baggage handlers had followed the proper procedure outlined in the manual, these accidents may have never happened.
@pcressma The DC-10 was a great aircraft. It just earned a bad rep for an accident that could have been avoided if the airline had followed the prescribed maintenance program.

@jojo12455 and I suppose that the rash of cargo door incidents was just the baggage handlers?

Great Commercial, Great Airline. Except for the sad fact that they used DC-10 equipment, Canadian was an excellent carrier.
