Description
Summary:	This critical incident describes a situation in which two airplanes crashed within five months of each other in the Java Sea and Ethiopia, respectively. Both crashes involved Boeing MAX jets, which were known for their fuel efficiency. While many countries around the world grounded the MAX jets on the day of the Ethiopian crash or the day after, the U.S. and Canada maintained that the planes were safe. Boeing had manufactured the MAX jets based on earlier models and had installed a software called MCAS, which overrode pilot manual controls. The U.S. Federal Aviation Authority, a regulatory body responsible for civil aviation safety, grounded the MAX jets four days after the Ethiopian crash.
