Concerned pilots confronted Boeing over safety issues with the 737 Max 8 jet after the Lion Air disaster - four months before the second deadly crash in Ethiopia, a new audio recording reveals. The 737 MAX 8 is currently grounded worldwide while further investigations into the aircraft’s development are carried out, and its design addressed. 'I don't know that understanding this system would've changed the outcome on this,' Sinnett told the congregated pilots, insisting the Lion Air crash would be an isolated incident. Another 737 MAX 8 crashed in Ethiopia (above) in March, leaving no survivors among the 157 people on board. That fix was still in development when the second 737 Max crashed four months laterAirlines and governments worldwide ordered the 737 MAX 8 to stop flying in the days after the Ethiopian Airlines crash.
