0 More nations ground Boeing 737 Max 8s after Ethiopia crash- The flight recorders from the Boeing 737 Max 8 jet that crashed and killed all 157 people on board will be sent abroad for analysis, an Ethiopian Airlines spokesman said Wednesday, as much of the world grounded or barred the model and grieving families arrived at the site of the disaster. And airline pilots on at least two U.S. flights have reported that an automated system seemed to cause their planes to tilt down suddenly. "Similar causes may have contributed to both events," European regulators said, referring to the Lion Air crash in Indonesia that killed 189 people in October. "After the Lion Air crash, questions were raised, so Boeing sent further instructions that it said pilots should know. Lebanon and Kosovo barred the Boeing 737 Max 8 from their airspace, and Norwegian Air Shuttles said it would seek compensation from Boeing after grounding its fleet.
