Ethiopian Airlines reported the second crash of the Boeing 737 MAX in the last eight months. The crash, occurring on March 10th, resulted in the deaths of all 157 people on board. The previous Lion Air crash, which occurred in October, killed an additional 189 people. The new Boeing model was released approximately two years ago and is now under suspicion due to the recent tragedies. As of today, no evidence has been recovered to indicate the cause of the latest crash or its connection to the October incident. However, a crash of this magnitude to transpire with so many similarities is unprecedented, convincing multiple experts that this is likely not a coincidence. The Lion Air crash was the result of a malfunction of the plans's new Maneuvering Characteristic Augmentation System, designed to automatically pull the plane's nose down if it pointing at a dangerously high angle. Although the Ethiopian crash displayed similar movement patters, they were not as extreme, suggesting the issues may not the result of the same cause. Experts have also largely dismissed the possibility that the crash was directly the result of Ethiopian Airline's, stating that the airline is very well run with no safety issues.
