Crash at Sharjah airport
A caution about the video clip.
The display rate is far different from the capture rate. Thus all moving objects appear to move at very high speed (lots of frames missing).
since a heavy object would reach the ground about the same time the plane did (only slightly later)the timing in the picture does not match.
again, any objects big enough to be seen in the video have no doubt already been recovered and identified so ask somebody on-scene.

I seem to remember a website which allows one to trace an aicraft's ownership history.
I was interested on the history of this 'old' plane.
Can anyone remind me of the link .... thanks

looks just like the file photos taken of the AA DC-10,...not wishing to speculate but it would be nice to know what fell off and if they lost rudder boost or hydraulics

Hydraulics for the rudder boost is provided by electric pumps, which operate full time...aux system, which also supplies some spoilers, as I recall.
The utility system (engine driven pumps) supplies the rest, gear, brakes, nose steering, flaps, some spoilers etc...with a system interconnect, that can only be used on the ground...except for ex-PanAmerican aircraft, of course.
PanAm had a reason for using the system interconnect in the air...very slow retraction of the landing gear, in the event one or more MLG trucks were not level.
Had to use this one time only with an ex-PanAmerican aircraft...worked like a charm.
Returning to rudder boost, there was one accident wherein the boost worked fine, however the rudder did not respond as it should...a Western Airlines 720B on crew training at KONT, years ago.
The rudder horn fractured during an engine-out go-around...the airplane rolled over smartly, right now.
All died.

411A could they have also lost the rudder boost via another failure? to cause the roll what would an engine separation takeoff probably do to the bird---I have 707 manuals but not here

If the engine seperated or just the cowl came off perhaps a piece struck the horizontal stab and in turn caused a catastrophic control loss.
One lost an oil fill access door on a B757 with an unbeliveable amount of damge to the horizontal stab although not enough to render the aircraft uncontrollable. One could only imagine what something larger might do.
Disclaimer; Not suggesting that anything like this is/was the cause of this accident. Also, my recollection is that with the loss of rudder boost in the 720B at least, VMCA is somewhere around 180+ knots.

Continuing the speculation: If it was an engine cowel that came off then possibly that was the result of an uncontained engine failure that did a whole lot more damage, we shall just have to wait and see.
Falling object was "a piece of engine cover", says the local CAA director:

The history of the aircraft involved is covered in the Wikipedia article on the crash.
Azza Transport Flight 2241 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Visually, strikingly similar to American 191.
American Airlines Flight 191 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Factually, the similarities so far are limited to a) an engine(part) separation at takeoff followed by b) an extreme unusual attitude in roll.
Chilling video.

If the found engine cowling. For my that's engine explosion witch can effect control surfaces

Sorry, wasn't on yesterday, here you go.
Crash inquiry focuses on old engines - The National Newspaper
Can't confirm anything, just a news paper quote....take it with as much salt as you think necessary!!
