In defense of the MD88, no engine likes to be sprayed by the fire department while it's running.
But Bar, youre probably the guy to ask, in defense of the 88 and entire DC-9 extended family, how many fatal accidents has the DC9 or 88 family been in that was attributed to the design and not the pilots, maintenance, fuel or what have you and how does this compare to the Boeing and Airbi?
