What do we know about the 737 Max 8 aircraft that crashed in Ethiopia, killing all on board? The pilots said that soon after engaging the autopilot on Boeing 737 Max 8 planes, the nose tilted down sharply. American Airlines and Southwest Airlines operate the 737 Max 8, and United Airlines flies a slightly larger version, the Max 9. It was unclear whether the accounts led to any actions by the FAA or the pilots' airlines.
