Great Pilots sometimes think alike!
Thanks Flash,
You could well be right - you tell of the first DC10 cargo door blow out - AA 96 Detroit June 12 1972 - but that one stayed in one piece after landing and only had 56 pax on board. Danny refers to "a very bent aircraft and 2-300 pax". I hope that he won't take offence if I said that he might be mixing up memories from both incidents - after all both sets of pilots used similar techniques to control the problem, it was just that the Sioux City guys had no, zero, zilch, hydraulics at all, and the outcome of landing with no flaps/slats at high speed led to the inevitable outcome.
