The jet involved in the tragic Ethiopian Airline crash was a Boeing 737 Max 8, the same model as the jet in the 2018 Lion Air crash. Here's what we know about the plane.
All 157 passengers aboard an Ethiopian Airlines flight departing from Addis Ababa, the nation's capital, to Nairobi, Kenya, were killed when the plane crashed six minutes after taking off Sunday morning.
In a statement, the American aircraft manufacturer expressed condolences to the victims' families. Boeing also said a "technical team is prepared to provide technical assistance at the request and under the direction of the US National Transportation Safety Board."According to Boeing's website, MAX aircraft models — including the MAX 7, 8, 9 AND 10 — have accumulated more than 4,700 orders from 100 customers worldwide.
A central issue in the investigation was an anti-stall software update. Boeing and the FAA concluded that pilots did not need to be informed about the change in the MAX's anti-stall software, claiming that experience with a long-established set of emergency protocols should have been sufficient to handle the plane, according to the report.
