===Other notable incidents=== * February 28, 1984: [[Scandinavian Airlines System Flight 901]], overran the runway at its destination at [[John F. Kennedy International Airport]] on February 28, 1984. The flight, using a DC-10-30, originated at [[Stockholm Arlanda Airport]], Sweden, before a stopover at [[Oslo Airport, Gardermoen]], Norway. All 177 passengers and crew members on board survived, although 12 were injured. The runway overshoot was due to the crew's failure to monitor their airspeed and overreliance on the aircraft's autothrottle. * April 7, 1994: The flight crew of [[Federal Express Flight 705]], DC-10-30 N306FE, was attacked by a deadheading FedEx employee in an attempted [[murder-suicide]] intended to cause the aircraft to crash. The seriously injured crew returned to [[Memphis International Airport]] after subduing the hijacker, using [[aerobatic]] maneuvers and damaging the aircraft in the process. The aircraft was repaired and returned in service.<ref>[https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19940407-0 "FedEX Flight 705 Hijacking, April 7, 1994"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160308005043/https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19940407-0 |date=March 8, 2016}}.

Minutes later, [[Air France Flight 4590]], operated by a [[Concorde]], ran over the metal strip at high speed, bursting a tire and causing a fuel tank to rupture and burst into flames. The Concorde's pilots attempted to keep control of the aircraft, but it stalled and crashed. The strip of metal was traced to third-party replacement parts [[Unapproved aircraft part|not approved]] by the FAA.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/39poor-repair39-to-dc-10-was-cause-of-concorde-crash-121739/ |title='Poor repair' to DC-10 was cause of Concorde crash |publisher=Flight Global |date=October 24, 2000 |access-date=February 24, 2014 |archive-date=February 28, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140228074940/http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/39poor-repair39-to-dc-10-was-cause-of-concorde-crash-121739/ |url-status=live}}</ref> * January 31, 2001: Japan Airlines Flight 958, DC-10-40D JA8546, was involved in a [[2001 Japan Airlines mid-air incident|midair near collision]] with a Japan Airlines [[Boeing 747-400]] near [[Yaizu]].
