Washington -- After days of mounting pressure, the U.S. on Wednesday grounded all Boeing 737 Max jets, the aircraft involved in a deadly crash in Ethiopia. The FAA said the decision was based on new information about the crash of the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8 on Sunday that killed 157 people. CBS News correspondent Kris Van Cleave was at Reagan National Airport outside Washington on Thursday morning, where some of the grounded Max jets were parked. The U.S. was among the last of more than 40 countries to temporarily ban the 737 Max planes. Boeing, meanwhile, said it remains confident in the safety of the 737 Max planes, but supports the grounding out of an abundance of caution.
