A couple of DC-10's were lost due to problems with the thrust bearing -
one
major crash at Chicago - I don't have a reference handy for the others.
Lots of people refused to fly on DC-10's after the Chicago crash -
prompting
the bumper sticker "If it's not Boeing, I'm not going".


Thrust bearing? The only major DC-10 crash I can recall at Chicago was in
1979 and was due to faulty maintenance procedures.
