What Caused the Boeing 737 Max 8 Planes to Crash?
Keller Rohrback L.L.P., a U.S. law firm with offices in five states and part of a worldwide network of attorneys, is investigating why two 737 Max 8 planes recently crashed.
A flight-control system on Boeing’s 737 Max 8 aircraft is at the center of the multiple investigations into two plane crashes that took the lives of 157 people in Ethiopia and 189 people in Indonesia.
The deadly crashes—less than five months apart— resulted in grounding of the 737 Max jets around the world. On March 13, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded the planes in the U.S.
According to NPR, the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 (March 10, 2019) and Lion Air Flight 610 in Indonesia (October 29, 2018) shared several similarities including “an anti-stall system on both jets, designed to push the nose of the plane down if flight control systems sense a problem with low air speed. Both the planes appeared to ascend and descend erratically, suggesting the pilots struggled to maintain control.” The flight system is known as MCAS, which stands for Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System.
In March, The Seattle Times reported that the safety evaluation process of the Boeing 737 Max 8 may have been unsound. The report draws from interviews with current and former engineers who were involved in the safety evaluations. According to the engineers' statements, for the sake of timeliness, safety assessments were often delegated from the FAA to Boeing itself. The Seattle Times also notes that Boeing's safety analysis report on the MCAS for the FAA contained "several crucial flaws." Boeing responded to The Seattle Times report, stating that the engineers' comments included "significant mischaracterizations," and that the Boeing 737 Max 8 certification process had met all FAA requirements.
The New York Times reports that the cockpits of both flights were also missing two key safety features—the angle of attack indication and disagree light—because Boeing charged extra for them. Neither feature is required by the FAA. Plane manufacturers often charge extra for add-on features—some cosmetic, others involving communication or navigation systems that are needed for the plane’s operations.
Extras have become “a great profit center” for Boeing, said former engineering test pilot Mark H. Goodrich to The New York Times.
Did Boeing or others fail in their duties to protect airline passengers?
