157 dead as second Boeing 737 MAX-8 crashes after take-off
Not recanting details of this current devastation because investigations have just started and all loved ones have not been notified, it indeed places Boeing's 737 endeavors under the microscope. If Boeing is the contributing factor then a reexamination of its recent 737 Max upgrade is indeed the focus and results could possibly change the dynamics of the aviation market place which is not the main concern at this time.
The Lion Air crash last fall of 2018 could be a segway to this crash but so little is known at this time. Boeing cannot let the truth about its product be a dismissive topic. Whether an obvious mishap from other causes is found in the little remaining debris or a Boeing oversight issue remains to be discovered. A tragic day for the passengers and its airline. Another truly black eye for the industry which has many chapters of loss of life following to this point in history.
My guess is that there is too much automation in the cockpit, the disconnect between human interaction and actual flying of the aircraft is becoming too great. As they say in programming, "Garbage in Garbage out" is true with aircraft, if a sensor is failing or not reporting the computer tries to do what it thinks is best.
