On March 10th of 2019 a Boeing 737 Max crashed 6 minutes after it took off in Ethiopia, killing all 157 people on board. The Boeing 737 Max was a new plane that had a computerized system designed to dip the nose of the plane down automatically to prevent it from stalling. The pilot on the plane had tried to turn off the computerized system unsuccessfully.

Just a few months before, a Boeing 737 Max in Indonesia crashed 12 minutes after take off. Killing all 189 passengers and crew. The question is, why was this allowed to happen again in Ethiopia if it happen in Indonesia before? Although this is still being investigated, Boeing has already admitted to making some mistakes one of them being charging extra for safety training for pilots.
