In flight simulations designed to recreate the problems from a doomed Boeing 737 Max airliner, pilots found that they had less than 40 seconds to override a controversial automated system and prevent a crash, according to The New York Times. The Boeing 737 Max has been grounded worldwide following the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines flight on March 10 that killed 157 people, including eight Americans. In October, another Boeing 737 Max operated by Lion Air also crashed, plunging into the sea shortly after takeoff in Indonesia. As part of the update, Boeing said it is tweaking the anti-stall software.
