New evidence links the crash of Ethiopian Airlines to that of Lion Air and Boeing are rushing to change the 737 MAX

Researchers working in Bishoftu, Ethiopia, where On March 10, Ethiopian Airlines flight 302 crashedThey found new evidence that the causes of the incident, in which 157 people died, could be the same as those that caused the accident of Lion Air in October 2018, which resulted in a balance sheet of 189 people.

It's a piece that, by the state in which it is located, indicate that the stabilizers of the Boeing 737 Max 8 were inclined upwardsas reported The New York Times. In this position, they would have lowered the nose of the aircraft, exactly as was the case in the case of Lion Air.

It is true that the investigation into the causes of the event is still in its infancy. But This is the indication that pushed US regulators to keep all Boeing Max 737s in the ground.

It's no coincidence that, although there is still no conclusion about what happened, Boeing announced that it would change the MCAS system, designed to avoid the destabilization of the aircraft, and designated as responsible for the accident of the 737 MAX 8 Lion Air.

In fact, the change is almost complete. It would only take two hours per ship to get there.

The badysis of the black boxes of the plane of Ethiopian Airlines began Friday in France, in which Ethiopia commissioned the investigation to try to determine the causes of this incident.

Boeing held a teleconference Thursday with three airlines that bought some units of the 737 MAX and presented the solution, said a source consulted by AFP. The company should inform other customers early next week, he said.

The Ethiopian delegation led by the head of the country's accident investigation office went to the French Bureau of Research and Analysis (BEA) to begin the investigation.

For the moment, nothing has been leaked about the contents of the damaged black boxes after the disaster.. One of them, the FDR, contains the flight settings and the other, the CVR, the conversations and the booth alarms.

BEA has recruited ten technicians from the center. The work on the CVR could be extended until Saturday, the BEA wrote on Twitter.

Ethiopia asked France to resume the badysis because it did not have a laboratory to badyze these black boxes. Manufactured by the American L3 Technologies, the black boxes contain new technologies.

The BEA published photos of the FDR box in which it was visibly damagedalthough these devices are known to withstand violent shocks. This "does not bode well for the integrity of the data that it contains", explained an irresponsible BEA.

If the data contained in the boxes are affected, the French agency could ask its manufacturer to reconstruct all or part of them.

The North American Transportation Safety Agency (NTSB) sent three investigators to France to participate in investigations, a usual practice since the aircraft comes from the American manufacturer Boeing.

Boeing announced Thursday the suspension of deliveries of aircraft 737 MAX "until a solution is found", but ruled out the production stoppage of the aircraft, the company's best-selling model.

The US Aviation Agency (FAA) ordered the suspension of all 737 MAX 8 and MAX 9 aircraft flights until further notice. Washington justified this measure after receiving Canada's "new data" satellite, in which there are similarities between the two accidents of this model.

The measure came after a growing number of airlines and countries have decided to leave these models on the ground or ban them in their airspaceuntil it is badured that they are not a security problem.

As revealed The New York Times Thursday, the pilot of Boeing 737 MAX of Ethiopian Airlines was found in an emergency situation immediately after take-off. He asked with a "panic" voice to come back when the plane began to accelerate at an abnormal speed.

"Break, break, I request the return home", said the commander to the air traffic controllers, according to a person who had access to the exchange between the crew and the controllers.

The term "pause, pause" is used to prioritize a message, which means that the crew is faced with an emergency situation that pilots can not handle. "Ask for advice to land," the commander added.
