Whoa!
If this is that same plane like the one that we talked about before where it has that faulty new anti-stall "feature" where a part of the feature thinks the plane is climbing too sharply so it forces the nose down and then when pilots try to pull the plane back up, then the feature kicks in again to force it back down. So the plane porpoises up and down like a dolphin until it crashes.
I said in the last one that authorities need to just permanently disable this new "feature" because pilots dont know how to turn it off when it starts happening. Or they dont have enough time to turn it off.
I think this is the same issue unless I am thinking of the wrong previous incident.
Keep reading.... it's absolutely nuts.
No confirmation on the cause of the crash yet, but it's an identical plane.

The MAX versions of the 737s are touted for their LEAP jet engines which Boeing says "redefine the future of efficient and environmentally friendly air travel." Boeing says the 737 MAX jets are 10% to 12% more efficient that their predecessors.
The plane that crashed on Sunday morning was delivered to Ethiopian Airlines in November. It was one of five active MAX 8 aircrafts belonging to the airline, and another was on order, according to the website PlaneSpotters, which tracks aircraft orders.
