On the same day that Ethiopian officials released a preliminary report in the deadly March 10 crash, Boeing officials acknowledged that additional software updates will be needed.

Wreckage is piled March 11 at the scene of the Ethiopian Airlines crash site near Bishoftu, Ethiopia. By Lori Aratani Lori Aratani Reporter focusing on transportation issues, including airports, airlines, and the nation's railroad and subway systems Email Bio Follow April 5 at 6:47 PM The fallout from a second crash involving a Boeing 737 Max 8 jet continues.

While Ethiopian officials are leading the investigation into the March 10 crash, the NTSB has offered technical and investigative support. Sumwalt also said that the NTSB has been given data from the Ethiopian jet’s data recorder, which it is analyzing. Because Boeing is a U.S.-based company, the NTSB is participating in the investigation as an accredited representative.

“It’s our responsibility to eliminate this risk,” Muilenburg said, adding that “we own it and we know how to do it.” Nadia Milleron, mother of Samya Stumo, who was killed in the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, fights back tears Thursday while sitting next to her husband, Michael Stumo, and son Adnaan Stumo during a news conference in Chicago.

Software prevents plane to stall due to aerodynamic issues caused by design, which would make the plane not certifiable as commercial plane. The software 'fix' is to turn off the very system that prevents the plane to stall. So the plane loses its certification while on the air?

Really? Come on, all Boeing needs to do is say Trump was the cause and bash Trump - the democrats will be right behind Boeing placing orders for new planes. It worked for Jessie.

I'd never fly on their Jets.

I am hoping that the families of the downed planes SUE the hell out of Boeing. Those folks were knowingly putting people's lives at stake so they could make a buck. May real JUSTICE prevail and Boeing has to pay BILLIONS to the families on those planes.

vergonhoso!!!

First order aerodynamic instabilities can't be fixed with third order software fixes.

We have no clue wtf we’re doing, understood 😂😂

Pilots of doomed Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX jet followed Boeing procedures: reportPilots of the doomed Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 MAX followed emergency procedures specified by the maker, the Wall Street Journal reports. I was a technical writer for this company for years. Boeing is cheap. They laid off all the writers because they didn’t think they mattered. This plan crashed due to inadequate manuals and a crappy online course. A software patch won’t fix it.

They knew the problem...seem they chose to ignore it. Sue for tons of $$$$$$$yes. I’m surprised there has been no class action yet 😅 Is there enough evidence suggesting the MCAS system is at fault, pilots were following instructions, albeit in vain, as instructed to respond to the sensor reading discrepancies?
