An off-duty pilot reportedly prevented a Boeing 737 Max 8 crash, one day before the same plane crashed and killed 189 passengers
An off-duty pilot riding in the cockpit of a Boeing 737 Max 8 fixed a malfunction during the second-to-the-last flight for the aircraft, before a different flight on the same plane crashed in the Java Sea the next day, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday evening.
The aircraft, which was being operated by a different crew the next day, on October 29, 2018, crashed fewer than 15 minutes after takeoff, killing all 189 passengers and crew on board.
