Banning aircraft.

411A. Don't be too quick to put down QANTAS. A few USA companies have shed bits and pieces. National Airlines DC10 with uncontained failure over New Mexico in 1973, American Airlines DC10 lost engine from wing on take-off from Chicago 1979, United DC10 uncontained failure of #2 engine resulting in crash at Sioux City 1989 to name but a few.
