Investigators looking into a Boeing 737 MAX crash in Ethiopia that killed 157 people have reached a preliminary conclusion that an anti-stall system was activated before the plane hit the ground, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing people briefed on the matter. U.S. safety investigators have reviewed data from the “black boxes” that were aboard Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, four people briefed on the investigation told Reuters Thursday. 737 MAX groundedInvestigators of a deadly 737 MAX crash in Indonesia in October have also focused on the new anti-stall system, called MCAS. The lawsuit alleges that Boeing had defectively designed the automated flight control system. Those situations, however, were not listed in the flight manual, according to a copy from American Airlines seen by Reuters.
