The grounding is an abrupt reversal as the US had repeatedly insisted the airplane was safe to fly even as regulators and airlines around the world grounded the airplane.

A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft sits at Midway International Airport in Chicago.

The FAA did not disclose the new evidence at the scene but said it was “the missing pieces” that aligned the track of the two fatal Boeing 737 MAX 8 crashes since October. Canada grounded the planes earlier on Wednesday while the European Union acted on Tuesday. China and some airlines ordered the planes not to fly within hours of the crash on Sunday.

Boeing said it supported the action to temporarily ground 737 max operations after it consulted with the FAA, NTSB and its customers. Boeing shares were down 2%.
