Federal authorities are comparing Kentucky's UPS MD-11 catastrophe (photos above) with an American Airlines DC-10 disaster in Chicago in 1979 (photo below).
The MD-11 is a later version of the DC-10 - and in both tragedies, the left engine separated from the left wing on the takeoff roll.
Fourteen people perished in the Nov. 4 Kentucky crash. The Chicago disaster killed 273 - the deadliest aircraft mishap in U.S. history to date.
MD-11 freighters have been regular visitors to Denver International Airport. They've been grounded in the aftermath of this month's crash.
