How do you figure? They're very similar planes. The left engine and its pylon detached in both cases during takeoff rotation. Both incident reports stated that proper maintenance would have prevented the detachment.

The way the situation played out is different but the failure mode seems to be very similar if not the same.

The NTSB report itself even references AA-191 as the only "similar event".
