Boeing Knew About 737 Max Sensor Problem Before Plane Crash In Indonesia
Engineers at the company discovered a problem with a key safety indicator light within months of the first deliveries of the 737 Max. But it didn't inform airlines or regulators for another year.
Boeing knew that there was a problem with one of the safety features on its 737 Max planes back in 2017 â well before the Lion Air crash in October 2018 and the Ethiopian Airlines crash in March. But it did not disclose the issue to airlines or safety regulators until after the Lion Air plane crashed off the Indonesian coast, killing all 189 aboard.
