DC-10s Grounded for Engine Bolt Inspections
FAA chief Bond orders all U.S. DC-10s grounded at 3 am Tuesday for inspection of wing engine bolts after the O’Hare crash. Foreign airlines urged to inspect. McDonnell Douglas and NTSB pushed for immediate checks as about 275 DC-10s operate worldwide. Safety officials recover a cracked three‑inch bolt and confirm the failure contributed to the disaster, while Canada declines the U.S. grounding.
