Historical context - In 1979 an AA DC-10 (MD-11 predecessor) crashed on takeoff from ORD. Its left engine separated (due to a maintenance issue) on takeoff causing an asymmetric stall when the slats retracted. (Locks mandated in 1982) TAC report from 2019: theaircurrent.com/historical-c...
Searching for 40-year old lessons for Boeing in the grounding of the DC-10
An eerily similar crash in Chicago 40-years ago holds lessons for Boeing and the 737 Max that reverberate through history.

The administration (Musk et al) will use this crash as an opportunity to declare war on the FAA and privatize ATC services and gut the Airport and Airways Trust Fund (AATF).
As an American pilot living in New Zealand (that has a privatized ATC system) I STRONGLY give counsel against that idea.

Trump wants to distract you from the fact that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator last week.
Don’t let him.
