Following the catastrophe of Lion Air flight 610, the last thing Boeing would have wanted was another fatal incident involving one of their new 737 MAX aircraft. Sadly, this is exactly what came just months later with the tragic crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302.

But just like the Lion Air flight that came before it, the case of Ethiopian 302 is widely misreported and misunderstood. The much vilified MCAS certainly played its part in this crash too, but upon close inspection of the final report, it’s also clear that some key decisions at Boeing put these pilots and passengers in unnecessary danger.

In today’s video, we take a closer look at what happened on Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 and how it changed aviation forever.

The crash that grounded all 737 MAX for 2 years.
