Days after the second fatal crash of a Boeing 737 MAX 8 airliner, airlines around the world have been forced to ground the vehicles until further notice. The crash, which was the second in just five months involving Boeing’s extremely popular new commercial jet, killed 157 people when it came down just minutes after takeoff in Ethiopia.
Thus far, the governing bodies for air travel in the UK, China, Singapore, and Australia have made the decision to temporarily restrict takeoffs of the popular aircraft. Individual airlines in South Africa, South Korea, Argentina and Mexico have also chosen to ground their 737 MAX 8s out of an abundance of caution.
