Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 737 Max 8, the aircraft that crashed Sunday, is seen at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa when it was first delivered in July. Workers gather at the scene of an Ethiopian Airlines flight crash near Bishoftu, or Debre Zeit, south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Rescuers work at the scene of an Ethiopian Airlines flight crash near Bishoftu, south of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Boeing issued a statement that it was “deeply saddened” about the crash, adding that a “Boeing technical team is prepared to provide technical assistance at the request and under the direction of the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board.” Following the October crash of Lion Air flight 610 in Indonesia, Boeing issued an emergency notice that an erroneous sensor input could “cause the flight crew to have difficulty controlling the airplane,” leading to “possible impact with terrain.” In the Lion Air crash, a malfunctioning sensor convinced the airplane’s software that the flight was stalling and corrected by pointing the nose down.
