Report: Pilots restarted software, causing fatal nosedive

Report: Pilots restarted software, causing fatal nosediveEthiopian investigators are mostly blaming Boeing for last year’s crash of a Ethiopian Airlines jet shortly after takeoff, saying in an interim report Monday that there were design failures in the jet and inadequate training for pilots. The update from Ethiopian investigators — timed to beat the anniversary of the crash on March 10, 2019 — pointed to the role played by a new flight-control system that Boeing installed on the 737 Max and which repeatedly pushed the nose of the plane down. The system, called MCAS, overwhelmed the pilots’ attempts to control the plane.
