He walks through what the NTSB determined in the DC-10 disaster, including how a seemingly localized failure spiraled into a catastrophic loss of control, and how that investigation reshaped aircraft certification, maintenance procedures, and safety culture across the industry. Captain Steeeve then compares those documented conclusions with what we currently know — and what investigators are actively examining — in the UPS MD-11 crash. From structural vulnerabilities and system failures to crew response and aircraft behavior, he explains how investigators establish cause, identify contributing factors, and trace patterns across decades of aviation history. This video highlights how the NTSB uses past reports not to assign blame, but to prevent repeat tragedies — and why understanding these reports is essential to interpreting the FAA’s renewed focus on the MD-11’s design heritage.
