Didn't know about the other Saudi incident. But the score is still L1011: 0 to the DC10: 2 (minimum)

Nice added details but a gear light, tire blow-out cabin penetration of debris, catastrophic failure of engine probably wouldn't be considered a system failure or engineering weakness of the airframe or controls.

Of course I forgot about the triple flame-out on a L1011 due to oil o rings being incorrectly installed on all engines. After drifting down to a fairly low altitude they got #2 started and into Miami. That doesn't count either. (Now you can tell I'm furloughed without a life...all this time lingering on this thread...)
