The L-1011 was one lucky airplane, the number of near-misses in that thing is remarkable--EAL had the 3-engine "glider" inbound to MIA after loss of oil in all three; we had a 2-engine ferry lose an engine during flap retraction; TW had one collapse the pressure bulkhead and divert into Hilo; the " stall" resulting in a fiery crash following an aborted take-off Ag JFK, the list goes on.
