IIRC the DC-10 engines falling off were the result of a design flaw and not improper maintenance.
The loss of the engine on AA191 at ORD was absolutely the result of improper maintenance. Please read the NTSB accident report.

Besides AA191, what other time were DC10s "literally losing their engines" and "DC-10 engines fall off"?
