Twenty-two airline carriers have grounded the newest version of Boeing’s most popular jet, the 737 MAX 8, after two of the planes crashed in recent months. A total of 346 people died in the two crashes.
Major U.S. carriers American Airlines and Southwest Airlines, which are heavy users of the model, continued to fly the MAX 8 on Monday. Investigators have not determined the cause of the most recent Ethiopian Airlines crash, but the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder have both been recovered. Some circumstances of the crash were similar to another MAX 8 crash in October.
