Isnt the reason the FedEx crashed at Newark due to a slightly dodgy structure in the wing root that caused it to become detached after the very hard landing. Similar thing happened to another MD11 in Hong Kong recently.
On another note, I once came across a former MD11 pilot who said that the MD11 flight deck was the kinf of system Boeing tried to build with the 777. In fact I've come across few detractors amongst those who fly it. Anyone care to disagree?
