All I would say is that no other plane has flipped over so many times when landing in often benign conditions, especially given how relatively few of the type were ever built.
One might be led to believe that the periods between 1990-1997 and then 2000-2008 saw all MD-11s grounded, since there were no accidents during these intervals. How did such a dangerous aircraft survive 7-8 straight years (twice) without crashing?

Maybe this plane is just too far beyond the skill level of most of those who currently fly her?
