I think Boeing is going to try and cover this up, and low key blame this on the pilots. It sounds like it's an issue MCAS system in the 737 Max 8's and 9's, where the anti-stall sensor could produce erroneous indications causing the plane to nose dive.

Damn those women were beautiful.

And off course the FAA won't ground the Max 8. I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with the cozy relationship Boeing has with the US government.

I have a huge fear of flying and I'm wanting to go to Canada soon. I'm getting fukked up on xanax before hand.

RIP to those lost. Commercial crashes always hit me hard.

I think because most of the time when I'm flying I'm happy/excited - about to start vacation, warmer weather, going home, going to see family, etc. To think those people were on that same high as me and then have it all taken so quickly..
