The 737MAX. What is wrong?






After the recent crash of the Ethiopian 737MAX8 I started to receive a lot of questions like "what's going wrong with the MAX", "what do you, Denis, think about this accident, shall I change my tickets to Airbus", "how to live now", and many others.

First, guys, I want to stress, that the investigation has just begun and at this moment there is a lack of official information.

However, this accident looks very similar to the first crash of the same model which happened half a year ago in Indonesia with a Lion Air 737MAX8. Both airplanes crashed just in a few minutes after airborne and before impact they were integral and the vertical speed and the air speed were so high, that almost no big parts of the airplanes remained, just small fractures.
