It was the second air disaster involving a Boeing 737 Max in less than five months, coming after the October 2018 crash of Lion Air Flight 610 in Indonesia. After the second crash, regulators took the plane out of service to figure out what had happened, and the 737 Max has been grounded ever since. But the Stumo family and other victims' relatives say that's too soon, and they've become a driving force in the campaign to keep the plane out of the air. Such a move would be an enormous financial challenge for Boeing, which stands to lose market share the longer the 737 Max is out of service. The possibility that the 737 Max could be flying again soon has stirred them into action.
