Sunday’s fatal airplane crash in Ethiopia marks the second time in just five months that a Boeing 737-8 MAX dropped out of the sky, killing everyone on board.
Another Boeing 737-8 MAX plummeted into the Java Sea just minutes after taking off from Jakarta on Oct. 29, killing all 189 crew and passengers.
That pilot had reported “speed and altimeter” issues during an earlier takeoff on the plane on the same day as the crash. Boeing later revealed that the plane’s sensors were known to malfunction — eventually causing the plane’s autopilot to send it into a fatal nosedive on a subsequent trip.
