French air crash investigators are saying that they have found “clear similarities” between last week’s Ethiopian Airlines crash and last October’s Lion Air disaster. Both 737 MAX aircraft plunged nose-first to their doom. Lion Air Flight 610 plunged into the sea last October, killing all 189 passengers and crew. Other air safety regulators around the world then certified the MAX 8 based on the FAA’s thumbs up. Federal prosecutors have reportedly issued a subpoena to at least one person involved in the development of the 737 MAX.
