New information on a deadly plane crash in Ethiopia may undermine Boeing's claims about a suspect piece of software on its new 737 Max jets. Reports Wednesday morning say the Ethiopian Airlines pilots turned off the system designed to prevent the plane from stalling – but somehow it then started again. The Boeing 737 Max remains grounded over software problems linked to two crashes that killed more than 300 people. After the crash of Lion Air Flight 610 that killed 189 back in October, an alert was sent to pilots explaining the existing procedures to use. The 737 Max series was grounded in March until there is a fix to the software.
