Arguably the Chicago accident too, come to that.
I thought the slat retraction when the hydraulic lines were severed by the departing engine was something that could only have happened on the '10. Didn't other airliners had mechanical locks to hold the slats extended, the '10 relying on hydraulic pressure to hold them extended?
