Boeing 737 Max 8 planes lacked two safety features that cost extraThe optional safety features - an angle of attack indicator and a disagree light - are not mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration and are only installed if the airline pays for it. This is not good, surely the victims families will no doubt be pursuing compensation from the airline In gaming terms, these were the optional but essential DLCs that were not bought to complete the story mission.
