There also may have been some pilot error involved here as well. If they attempted to turn with the gear down, at departure speed, without extending their flaps and leading edge slats, which they would have retracted first at the moment of flight rotation, the drag would have been so dramatic that it would literally cause the aircraft to drop at a rate of 1000 feet per min. or more.

And to attempt turning an airctaft in this configuration or state of deterioration, would be suicide. All pilots are trained to never attempt returning to the runway during a departure emergency.

This aircraft is a Boeing. The center engine nacelle indicates that as well as the four small skylites above the main windshield. DC-10s have no such skylites as the comparison photo indicates. Here is a photo of a DC-10, compare the size of the two center nacelles and notice the cockpit windshield.
