Must have been a Ford product 😒
Was the aircraft to heavy on takeoff?
There are 21 737s in service in the military with several more on order for the Marine corps. Two have crashed in the past year, killing hundreds. Expect the defense department, headed by the former Boeing CEO who holds millions in stock options, to conduct a thorough review.
May be it’s time for Fliers to quit shopping for cheaper airlines
