This report says it’s Renton’s fault. Don’t the Seahawks live in Renton?
Introduction The world has heard the basic explanation given for why two new 737 MAX airplanes crashed killing 346 people. The Angle of Attack (AOA) Sensor sent faulty data to the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) software, which caused the horizontal stabilizers to repeatedly pitch the airplanes down, overwhelming the pilots causing them to lose control. People that have been following these tragedies a little closer know the original, Boeing-installed AOA Sensor on the Lion Air airplane had been replaced the day before the crash. But there is more to the story. Important facts involving the Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 accident investigations have gone unnoticed leading to many unanswered questions. Several factors appear to have played a direct role in the accidents—specifically, the failure of the AOA Sensors, unexplainable electrical anomalies, and the production of the airplanes—the details of which seem to have been largely ignored. There are at least three other plausible accident scenarios that have not been investigated

, the MCAS, and proper pilot training, it's a non-issue.
The problem was Boeing CAS sold the plane as requiring no additional training and wouldn't back away from that, even when the pilots were saying otherwise. Then they cheaped out and only put one AOA sensor on the plane and charged airlines for a second sensor instead of just including it.
When you build aircraft, you should listen to people that fly them, not some paper pusher that can't tell an aileron from an elevator. I'm not anxious to board a 737 Max, although the way it's been gone over with a fine tooth comb the last couple years probably means it's the safest airframe out there.
