“ , but this situation is caused by the maintenance contractors lifting the engine using a forklift from underneath instead of a sling from above. ”
The Chicago crash was blamed on maintenance using a forklift. I doubt seriously that a forklift was ever used on the MD11. Everyone in the maintenance industry has been through extensive training focusing on that DC-10 incident. They would have to be idiots to do that again.
However, if some overseas contractors worked on it that could be the case.
Doubt no more. There were extensive posts here on FR back when the crash occured. The maintenance company, located in Texas, was using a forklift in order to save time and money. They aren't idiots, they're criminals.
I was living in Chicago when that crash happened, and that anyone would even think about doing anything other than following specific maintenance protocol for planes with those types of engine mounts is beyond belief. That flight was horribly tragic.
