===Other hull losses=== * December 17, 1973: [[Iberia Airlines Flight 933]] crashed and struck the ALS system at [[Boston Logan International Airport]] which collapsed the front landing gear. All 168 passengers and crew survived. This is the first hull loss of a DC-10 aircraft.<ref>{{ASN accident|id=19731217-2|accessdate=November 23, 2020|title=EC-CBN}}</ref> * November 12, 1975: [[Overseas National Airways Flight 032|Overseas National Airways (ONA) Flight 032]], DC-10-30CF N1032F, accelerated through a flock of seagulls during its takeoff roll from [[John F. Kennedy International Airport]] on a [[ferry flight]]. The captain initiated a [[rejected takeoff]], but the right-hand engine exploded, causing a partial braking failure. The pilots steered off the runway to avoid plowing into a [[blast fence]], causing the landing gear to collapse and rupturing a fuel tank; the ensuing fire destroyed the aircraft. All 139 on board—all ONA employees—survived with 32 suffering injuries.<ref name=":3">{{cite web|title=Lessons Learned- McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30- Overseas National Airways Flight 032, N1032F|url=https://lessonslearned.faa.gov/ll_main.cfm?TabID=1&LLID=41&LLTypeID=2|access-date=November 30, 2021|website=lessonslearned.faa.gov|archive-date=May 14, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220514220846/https://lessonslearned.faa.gov/ll_main.cfm?TabID=1&LLID=41&LLTypeID=2|url-status=live}}</ref> * January 2, 1976: [[Saudi Arabian Airlines]] Flight 5130, DC-10-30CF N1031F leased from ONA, landed short of the runway at [[Istanbul-Yesilköy Airport]], tearing off the left-hand engine and the left and center main landing gear. All 362 passengers evacuated safely while one of thirteen crew members was injured. The accident was attributed to an excessively low approach, possibly caused by the first officer using the [[radar altimeter]] for altitude reference over irregular terrain.<ref>NTSB report, Identification: DCA76RA017 {{full citation needed|This cite needs filling out|date=November 2020}}</ref><ref>{{ASN accident|id=19760102-0|accessdate=November 24, 2020|title=N1031F}}</ref> * December 3, 1983: [[Korean Air Lines Flight 084]], DC-10-30 freighter HL7339, collided head-on during the takeoff roll with SouthCentral Air Flight 59, [[Piper PA-31]] N35206, which was taking off from [[Anchorage International Airport]]. The Piper struck the DC-10's left and center main landing gear and three passengers sustained minor injuries; the DC-10 overran the runway and the three crew suffered serious injuries. Investigators determined that the Korean Air Lines pilot became disoriented taxiing in fog, failed to follow correct procedures and confirm his position, and accidentally initiated takeoff from the wrong runway.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/AAR8410.pdf|title=Korean Air Lines McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30, HL7339, SouthCentral Air Piper PA-31-350, N35206, Anchorage, Alaska, December 23, 1983|date=August 9, 1984|publisher=[[National Transportation Safety Board]]|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20210825194138/https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/AccidentReports/Reports/AAR8410.pdf|archivedate=August 25, 2021|accessdate=August 29, 2021}}</ref> * May 21, 1988: American Airlines Flight 70, DC-10-30 N136AA, overran Runway 35L at [[Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport]] (DFW) after the flight crew attempted a rejected takeoff. Two crew were seriously injured and the remaining 12 crew and 240 passengers escaped safely. The accident was attributed to a shortcoming in the original design standards; no requirement had existed to test whether partially worn [[brake pad]]s could stop the aircraft during a rejected takeoff, and 8 of the 10 worn pad sets had failed.<ref>{{cite web|title=NTSB Aviation Accident Final Report FTW88NA106|url=https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20001213X25705&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=NA|work=[[National Transportation Safety Board]]|access-date=April 15, 2020|archive-date=August 16, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220816092000/https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20001213X25705&AKey=1&RType=Final&IType=NA|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=ASN Accident Description|url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19880521-0|work=Aviation Safety Network|access-date=May 31, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121107013239/http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19880521-0|archive-date=November 7, 2012|url-status=live}}</ref> * April 14, 1993: [[American Airlines Flight 102]], DC-10-30 N139AA, skidded off the runway on landing at DFW in a rainstorm, collapsing the nose and left main landing gear and badly damaging the left-hand engine and wing.
