The crash has troubling similarities with a disaster in Indonesia last year
FOR THE second time in five months, a virtually new Boeing 737 MAX airliner has crashed within minutes of taking off, killing all aboard. On March 10th Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 departed from Addis Ababa, the carrier’s home airport, for what should have been a routine two-hour flight to Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. It fell out of the sky just six minutes later. None of the plane’s 149 passengers and eight crew have survived.
Speculating about the cause of the crash is futile at this early stage. But the similarities with the loss of Lion Air Flight 610 in the Java Sea last October are alarming. Both incidents involved brand-new 737 MAX 8 jets delivered straight from Boeing, an American aircraft manufacturer, less than four months previously. Both occurred in generally clear weather conditions.
Last week relatives of some of the victims of the Lion Air crash filed a lawsuit against Boeing, blaming the company for its installation of a new flight-control system that automatically pitches the MAX’s nose down when an on-board computer perceives a risk of stalling. They believe the system is vulnerable to faulty sensor readings and could sow confusion in the cockpit, making an accident mre likely.
