The real story behind the 737 Max crashes

Let's ignore that the crews on both flights that crashed failed to disable the trim system. The switches are there and have been in the same place since the 200 model. Switch the automation off and hand fly the plane. It's that simple.

Also, in both cases, a defective angle of attack vane was sending false readings to the MCAS system, making it believe the nose was angle too high. In both instances the angle of attack vanes had been replaced by ground techs at the airlines.

But sure, ignore all this and blame one single part of the chain. That's how we learn..... not.

Much easier and better for views, likes and as revenue to sensationalise it as a purely Boeing issue.

Many passenger jets has a very similar system btw. The position of the engines under the wings ALWAYS cause an upwards pivot at higher engine power. It's just a side effect of their position. The 737 is no different, apart from that the higher powered engines on the MAX produce a larger pivoting momentum. The MCAS system was designed simple to smooth that out. Most every airliner model has something similar.

And every now and then, the system can go wonky. Its happened MANY times, on many different types of aircraft. Even Airbus. (Famously on the 330). The difference is, those crews took control and didn't try to continually re-engage the autopilot or trim systems.

AP Off
Trim sys off
Grab controls, pull out of dive.

It was that simple

Spot on. The ignorant masses like to hate on corporations.
 
The Brit maggot's defense of Boeing ranks with the charge of the Light Brigade, Custer's attack on the Sioux nation, Napoleon's Waterloo strategy, the unsinkable design of the Titanic, the Gallipoli landings and Foreman's Kinshasa fiasco.............. yet he blunders on.

Why ? Because he's a deluded loser, that's why.

It's pretty obvious to intelligent people that you haven't a fucking clue to the issues here.
