I shouldn’t have left out the American manufacturers.

Lockheed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braniff_Flight_542
The reason Lockheed couldn’t compete with the DC-8, 707, or Convair 880 - they had to put the resources that would have gone into a 1st gen jet into fixing the Electra)

Boeing http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19760509-0
(747 wing fell off in flight)

Douglas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_96

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Airlines_Flight_981

(door fell off in flight - two different airlines.)
