We remember another engine explosion on a DC-10 which rendered the plane’s hydraulics useless. The DC-10 is without a doubt the worst engineered modern passenger jet. It's successor, the MD-11 isn't much better. At least now when they crash, it's carrying cargo instead of passengers.

The engine falling off of the DC-10 was due to the maintenance crew cutting corners in how they removed engines, not a design flaw.
The airlines that followed the best recommended procedures did not damage and overstress the pins holding the engine on.
