Lex Willis- Crash of Boeing 737 MAX Lion Air

Summary:
The Lion Air Jet crashed after taking off from Jakarta, Indonesia with 190 people on board. This incident has a lot of people shocked because of how new and advanced the plane was. The pilot had reportedly radioed to ask to turn back due to air traffic control after taking off. The plane also had technical issues on Sunday; the airspeed reading on the captain's instrument was unreliable and the altitude were different on the caption and first officer's readings. Analyst Gerry Soejatman said that its more common for there to be issues in old aircraft but not newer planes."If it's very new there are sometimes snags that only reveal themselves after they are [used routinely]," he said. "These usually get sorted [within] the first three months." Nobody really knows the exact cause of why the plane crashed just yet.
Analysis:
This reminds me of the plane crash that happened in Cuba in May. Over 100 died but there were three women who survived, though in critical condition. According to industry research, 2017 has been the safest in history for commercial airline travel with no passenger jet crashes.
