- Date: June 13, 1996
- Aircraft: Douglas DC-10
- Location: Fukuoka, Kyūshū, Japan
- Fatalities: 3
- Phase of flight: Takeoff and climb
- Cause: The captain's rejection of the takeoff after the engine failure was judged inadequate, and the failed turbine blade had exceeded the manufacturer's recommended cycle limit. The Japanese Aircraft Accident Investigation Commission cited both the abort decision and the blade fatigue.
A Garuda DC-10-30 on flight GA865 from Fukuoka was rotating for takeoff at Fukuoka-Itazuke when a blade in the right-hand (No. 3) engine separated, causing a loss of thrust. The takeoff was aborted above V1 and the aircraft overran the runway, crossed a road, and burned in a field. Three of 260 passengers died, and the remaining occupants were injured or escaped.
