McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Biman Bangladesh Airlines | Last Ever Passenger Flight! 

Amazing, thank you for sharing that.

This was so cool to read honestly, thank you!!

Personally I like the DC-10-30 but not so much the -10. The reason why is because most of the redundancy safeguards on -10s were not there. the -30s had more safeguards and protection against a chain of improbable errors. You cannot blame the operators for AA96 and TK981 if McDonnell Douglas did not issue an airworthiness directive and say “These are mandatory improvements, we need to make them.” The company had even seen a cargo door blow out during it’s own ground testing and didn’t know how/didn’t care to investigate and resolve the issue. I don’t think it’s honest to say “no engineer designs a plane without safety in mind” when pertaining to McDonnell Douglas… The FAA has documents that are out there that state their opinions of after further review that a lot of redundancy and minute features and aspects of the DC-10 were rushed and not thought through, perhaps to beat the only other large trijet in development and steal some 747 orders. It wasn’t really just the cargo door (and also not even AA191), there were a whole other host of design issues with small aspects of the DC-10. It’s also worth noting that what really did McDonnell Douglas in was that they really screwed up with the MD-11 design because they could not take risks and they did not want to design an actual clean sheet small airplane design to replace the MD-80 and an actual clean sheet design to replace the DC-10 (MD-11 was really just a fine tuned DC-10 if you think about it) The longest DC-9 derivative, the MD-90 just barely could hold more people than the 737-700 and A319, and being a 40 year old design at that point in the 1990s, neither was it super optimised for the IAE V2500s. The MD-11 failed to meet fuel and range targets so badly that airlines got fed up and ordered the 777, A330s and A340s. Anyways, McDonnell Douglas’s later -30s and -40s were safer. The -10 was a POS in my opinion.

I can only take my hat off and salute you sir. DAC made amazing aircraft. The MD80 was a work of love just as the DC10.

I don't really know if I should believe you or not because people can literally say what they want on the internet.

kristaps ozolins lol yep

and good riddance, the DC10 took too many lives

In 2019, Fedex donated a cargo DC-10 to Orbis and I was converted to a flying eye hospital. It’s referred as an MD-10 because they gave this beauty an MD-11 cockpit in the DC-10. It’s back to a passenger plane, but for patients only.

German Aviation statistically speaking, DC-10 is a lot more unsafe, due to the fact that it had much less examples built than the 747 and 737 and those had less crashes per plane.

@@GermanAviation DC10 had issues, the 737 (except the max) and 747 never had issues

MD 10 is an upgraded variant of DC 10 with safer technologies, but retaining the same engines (CF-6-*6/45/50* and it's rival JT-9D-7R-4D). It had been further developed in2 a longer version, the MD 11 with newer engines (CF-6-*80* and it's rival PW4000). I have another proposed plan for new *MD-12-9i* it will have Fuel Efficient 3 x GENX-2B Jet engines

@@JishyFishy4106 how about a 2 engine DC?

It’s only like that because many airlines had the DC-10, and you only ever hear about their crashes because so many airlines operate them!

@@ILoveQazaqstan it would've been made only if the md 11 did not make the company shut down due to bankruptcy

​@@ILoveQazaqstanAirbus A300 First wide body 2 engine

43skillz feels like a house shuddering in a tornado in Kansas

They sound like a yellow loram rail grinder train

That's the signature DC-10 sound. You'll never forget it after you flew in one. No other aircraft sounds like it!

@@NuGanjaTron The Boeing 747. They both share the same Rolls Royce engines

@@notacommunisttt The sound I remember was definitely from the GE CF6 turbofans, which (I think) were fitted on the earlier intercontinental DC 10-30s. They were identifiable by the GE logo prominently emblazoned on the nacelle, though I don't see it in this vid. I think the RRs were a later option -- I didn't ride 747s nearly as often as DC10s, so I don't recall the RR sound. Either way, The Hum Was Magic[tm] and is sorely missed nowadays.

Exactly.

say what? the DC-10 was one of most worst plane ever,having deadly crashes..you already hear about Turkish Airlines flight 981,American 191,United 232...had a poor safety ranking

Dervio Soares Only 1 of those instances was actually the fault of the airplane, and in that case not even entirely so. MD issued a service bulletin to Turkish Airlines to fix the issues, and they were not. Had they been done, no accident would have occurred. American 191 was also the fault of the airline, with the maintenance crews taking shortcuts which damaged the engine pylon. United 232 was due to a manufacturing defect of an engine, and could have happened with any other plane. You really have no point with these examples.

The dc-10 had a troubled safety record at first but in later life after some bugs were worked out the plane went on to gain a good safety record.

o really ,say to customers of turkish airlines

True. And also, the Biman DC 10s aren't allowed to go to London, because they had some sort of flammable liquid in the aircraft.

Yeah, it was cool. That's how you recognised the DC-10. :^)

​@@Great_WesternTVFan You mean the jet fuel???

Trademark DC-10 Drone!!! It literally _resonates_ with you... :^D

Indeed

+John Smith Lol!

I mean give me a break that crap had 15 fatal events!! 3 November 1973; National Airlines DC10; over New Mexico, USA: The aircraft had an uncontained failure of one of the wing mounted engines. A piece of the engine struck the fuselage and broke a passenger window. One of the 116 passengers was sucked out of the aircraft during a rapid decompression. The remains of the passenger were not found. 17 December 1973; EC-CBN; flight IB933; Iberia DC10-30; Boston, MA: The aircraft was on a scheduled international flight from Madrid, Spain to Boston, MA. The aircraft encountered a wind shear condition during approach, and struck approach lights about 500 feet short of the threshold and also collided with a dike, shearing off the right main landing gear. The aircraft came to a stop about 3,000 feet down the runway. None of the 14 crew members or 154 passeners were killed. 3 March 1974; THY Turkish Airlines DC10; Flight 981; near Paris, France: The aircraft was a scheduled international flight from Paris to London. During climb, a rear cargo door which was improperly closed blew out. The resulting cabin decompression caused damage to the main cabin floor and to some control cables in the area. The crew was unable to control the aircraft and the plane crashed. All 333 passengers and 12 crew were killed. 1 March 1978; Continental Airlines DC10-10; Flight 603; Los Angeles, CA: The aircraft was on a scheduled domestic flight from Los Angeles, CA to Honolulu, HI. The crew aborted the takeoff due to ruptured tires and were unable to keep the aircraft from running off the runway. The aircraft caught fire after coming to a stop, and the passengers and crew evacuated. All 14 crew members survived, but two of the 186 passengers were killed. 25 May 1979; American Airlines DC10-10; N110AA; flight 191; Chicago, USA: The aircraft was on a scheduled domestic flight from Chicago, IL to Los Angeles, CA. During the takeoff roll, the left engine and pylon separated from the wing, damaging several hydraulic lines at the same time. The crew continued the takeoff, but the damage caused by the engine separation led to the uncommanded retraction of some flight control surfaces on the left wing as well as the loss of warning systems associated with those control surfaces. The aircraft rolled to the left, lost altitude, and crashed shortly after takeoff. All 258 passengers and 13 crew members were killed. Two people on the ground were also killed. 31 October 1979; Western Airlines DC10-10; Mexico City, Mexico: The crew inadvertently landed on a closed runway parallel to the active runway. The aircraft struck a large vehicle and crashed. 63 of the 77 passengers and 9 of the 11 crew were killed. 28 November 1979; Air New Zealand DC10-30; near Mt. Erebus, Antarctica: The aircraft was on a sightseeing flight from New Zealand to Antarctica. Due to a navigational error, the crew flew the aircraft into a mountain during whiteout conditions. All 237 passengers and 20 crew were killed. 23 January 1982; World Airways DC10-30CF; Boston, USA: The aircraft landed on an icy runway and was unable to stop before leaving the runway. The came to rest partially in an adjacent waterway. Part of the fuselage broke off and was in the water. Two of the 198 passengers were killed. 13 September 1982; Spantax DC10-30CF; Malaga, Spain: The crew rejected the takeoff at about V1 and were unable to stop the aircraft on the runway. 48 of the 393 passengers were killed. 24 July 1987; Air Afrique DC10; flight 56: en route Rome-Paris: The aircraft was on a scheduled international flight from Rome to Paris when the plane was hijacked by a single hijacker and diverted to Geneva, Switzerland to refuel. While on the ground the hijacker shot and killed one passenger. The hijacker was subsequently killed by Swiss police who stormed the plane. None of the 15 crew members were killed, while several passengers were injured while fleeing the plane, none of the other 141 passengers were killed. 19 July 1989; United Air Lines DC10; Flight 232; Sioux City, USA: While in cruise on a scheduled flight from Denver, CO to Chicago, IL, engine two had an uncontained failure. The failure, which was due by an undetected crack in the engine's fan disk, also damaged hydraulic lines led to a loss of all three hydraulic systems. The flight control systems were powered by the hydraulic system, and as a result were inoperative for the rest of the flight. The crew maneuvered the aircraft to a crash landing at the Sioux City airport using differential thrust on the two remaining engines to control the aircraft. One of the 11 crew members and 110 of the 285 passengers were killed. 27 July 1989; Korean Airlines DC10-30; Tripoli, Libya: The aircraft crashed about one mile (1.6 km) short of the airport during a daylight landing attempt in thick fog. Airport navigational equipment for an instrument landing on the intended runway were apparently not working at the time of the event. Four of the 18 crew members and 68 of the 181 passengers were killed. Six persons on the ground were also killed. 19 September 1989; UTA DC10-30; near N'Djamena, Chad: The aircraft crashed as a result of an in flight explosion due to a bomb. All 156 passengers and 15 passengers were killed. 21 December 1992; Martinair DC10-30F; Faro Portugal: The aircraft landed in a storm, hit a wing tip, and departed the runway. Two of the 13 crew and 56 of the 327 passengers were killed. 13 June 1996; Garuda Indonesia Airways DC10-30; Fukuoka, Japan: The aircraft was on a flight from Japan to Indonesia when it overran the runway after an aborted takeoff and caught fire. There were 260 passengers and 15 crew on board. Three passengers died and a reported 108 of the occupants suffered various injuries. 21 December 1999; Cubana DC10-30; Guatemala City, Guatemala: The aircraft overran the wet runway and came to rest in a residential neighborhood adjacent to the airport. Eight of the 18 crew members and nine of the 296 passengers were killed. Nine people in the neighborhood were also killed.

John Smith Man hate that turkish airlines crash my grand uncle died on that one

BucketOfCreeper i am sorry to hear that

eeeeeeeeeeeee🎺

@@liamphilbin7256 Music!!🛫💞💞💞💞💞

shite4brains ive never flown on it but my old mans flown them from Canada to portugal many times from 70s to 80s he loved the dc 10.

Tell that to those that died over the years berk.

Yeah it had major issues, but they were more or less solved within 8 years of release. By that point though, the damage was already done to the point that speculation media would attack any DC10 that had tiniest of mechanical anomalies and make it look like a big deal. If even tiny anomalies were made to look like disasters by the media, imagine the public when another actual DC10 disaster killed 272 on American soil. At which point, the media pretty much demolished any successful future for DC10 when AA191 went down 1 year later in Chicago due to what was later found to be crappy airline maintenance procedures of the engine pods...

What does the airline you ride

I think they expected the engine to broke apart like in the US airlines Death Chamber-10 crash

BucketOfCreeper American 191 crashed because the airline cut corners. To service the engine they had to remove it from the nacelle. To save money, the airline simply removed the nacelle with the engine attached to it but didn't properly put it back, causing the mounts to fail from undue stress. You can't blame the design for failing from improper maintenance work. Much like China Airlines 611 and the half-assed repair done on the tail. Both cases involved failing to follow manufacturer guidelines which led to disaster.

Well it's still crashed but it's mostly airliners fault but can't say that dc10 is a good plane tough :(

Well it's still crashed but it's mostly airliners fault but can't say that dc10 is a good plane tough :(

Yes it's a DC-10

Im so sorry to disappoint you, but this video was it’s very last passenger flight.

@@neunundfuenfzig rio

I envy that cockroach ..its gone intercontinental flight more than human .. LOL

yeah n without a passport i suppose it has gone all the way to new york now

i didnt find any on the new ones but they'll be there eventually. Meanwhile if ur feeling nostalgic and want that experience again, fly united airways(BD), u'll get free mosquitoes and a shit load of anti insect repellent a couple of minutes after everyone settles down and sometimes their ac stop working... But its ok, the plane is flying atleast, all fine and dandy! P.S. a 2hr direct flight might end up as a 7-8hr flight cause in midair they'll unilaterally decide to take u somewhere else as a transit stop. but all is good! HAH!

I think CF6

General Electic CF6-50C2

Problems which were rectified. Cut the drama.

Wasn’t the 2 worst crashes. Cut the drama.

While MD is to blame for the cargo door, you can't blame MD for poor maintenance on engine swaps.

Yeah how a great service. It killed more than 1000 people with its retarded cargo door. I'm very happy that none get killed in the last flight of Death Chamber-10

@@BucketOfCreeper Why is everyone constantly bashing the DC-10? It was a cool plane! Some of the early accidents had to do with improper maintenance procedures (e.g. AA 191). Granted, it was certainly NOT an easy plane to maintain. Then again, neither is the A380, I'll bet.

@@BucketOfCreeper well actually DC-10 was a cool plane. Since 2 accidents caused by Cargo door, DC-10 became one of safest plane. The accident that happens afterwards aren't the plane's fault, but the operator's fault.

@@WNDWSTIDN At least after the cargo door fix, no one's automatically pointing fingers at MD for incidents involving MD's non-DC10 aircraft. I wish I could say the same thing about Boeing's non-MAX aircraft, but Boeing has gotten blame for the Trent issues, the GE9X delays, PR113, AC837, UIA752, WN1380, and none of those are the MAX.

+rkan2 How much was it?

+rkan2 True. It is rather young for retirement.

GrafvonIsen It was 100£, the pound was at a nice reading compared to Euro then as well.. (Something like 1£ per 1.20€).. So 120€. I would pay just 60€ to get to picture one or two similar in such detail as I got to do with this any moment! :P

No, you guys start using stuffs after those get decades old. And the DC10 was American, not Bangladeshi. An talk about the new Biman 787s. Bangladeshi passengers vandalizing the interior of the dreamliners. Destroying the property of own country! Such shameful act!!

You can no longer fly on a trijet as a passenger. Also, McDonnell Douglas filed for bankruptcy quite a while sgo

+HerobrineDoesMinecraft 123 LOL.

The DC while it did have a bad reputation in the 1970’s the problems got found then fixed. It became after that a safe and reliable jet and was a true work horse for airlines

Nothing to be proud of, you bellend.

oh yeah...and it happened around 10:47

You are funny I am laughing so hard at you

Josh100 HD my favorite TRIJET is the l-1011 my favorite plane is the 767-200

Perhaps you'd like to READ the description and actually watch the video! There was too many people standing up so we had no choice but to remain seated! If you think you could have done it better, DO SO. Before leaving your critical rude ass comments on my videos. Fool.

+rachaelmatt Great view of that engine! Was tha a business class configuration or is it soley econonomy? It looks quite economy and quite original equipment from 1988.
