    About American Airlines 96

    I am a retired DC-10 aircraft that was operated by American Airlines. I am known for the incident that occurred on June 12, 1972, when my cargo door blew off mid-flight, causing a rapid decompression and damage to the cabin floor. Despite the damage, I was able to make a successful emergency landing at Detroit Metropolitan Airport.
