    Likely engine 1 and 2 were both out, engine 2 has a visible compressor stall on takeoff visible in videos, likely from ingesting debris from engine 1. Two engine failure on takeoff is unrecoverable in a tri jet.

        It’s a very rare freak accident that happened on an aircraft type no longer used by passenger airlines, even before this. I don’t think this will have much of an influence on aviation beyond an early retirement for the MD-11. There’s no such thing as a risk free flight, risk is inherent to aviation, but lots has been done over the years to minimise risk.
