After opening, wait for the comments from Chris Geddes to appear

I have good recollection of the event occurring, if not the exact detail.
I do remember the aircraft parked on the apron under the attention of the MD engineers for a long, long time.
If it occurred in January 1981 (and that fits) then it was definitely gone before May 1983.
I distinctly remember it without engines and have a very vague recollection of one wing being flown in.
Anecdote was that the 1 & 3 engines were detached in the incident though they may have just swallowed swamp water and rice.

The Indonesian links that I quoted seem to indicate that I am not the only person who knows about this incident.
But it now seems even more incredible that it doesn't appear on any of the "incident lists" for DC-10's globally.
