There's nothing inherently wrong with the aircraft. Some pilots have flown it wrong.

IMHO, it's actually out right ridiculous to insinuate that the MD-11 should be removed from KLM's fleet. I highly doubt that The FAA in either The US and/or Europe would allow the MD-11 to operate dangerous planes in their air space
