I don’t understand why regulators immediately grounded the Max 9’s, but it took two Max 8 crashes before they were grounded.
In: Other
After the first MAX8 crash, Boeing pushed HARD that it was the pilots fault and not a technical issue with the plane because at the time, nobody even knew about MCAS or what caused the crash. Even after the second crash they tried to blame the pilots until it was eventually proven to be an issue with the plane. At which point Boeing had already developed a “software solution”. So basically the FAA just believed Boeing and it took President Trump and an _executive order_ to ground the planes in the US
