First Lion Air, now Ethiopian Airlines: What caused the Boeing 787 MAX 8 plane to plummet, killing 157 passengers? The pilot reportedly diagnosed the problem - a malfunctioning control system in the Boeing 737 Max 8 - and saved the flight. It’s the latest clue in the mystery that surrounds why some 737 Max pilots hadn’t been trained properly on the new feature on the aircraft, its manoeuvring system. Now that a second Boeing 737 MAX 8 has crashed, no more chances are being taken. The Federal Aviation Administration grounded all 737 MAX aircraft on Thursday, following similar decisions made around the world.
