Ta, but it wasn't that one, it started earlier and was about the two MCAS crashes.

try searching for "Lion Air"

And

Ethiopian air lines flight goes down all killed

I thought this was the Landie Technical Section not the "I have lost my 737 Max thread" section.

You are right - it is in the wrong place!

It's OK,
Boeing will probably have it ready to fly again by the time all the airlines have gone bankrupt courtesy of COVID-19.

Exactly. How many of the customers that have signed orders will still be in business when it is declared airworthy, and how many of the remaining few will want to buy new planes of a 'bad rep' model, when there are plenty of near new second hand ones available at fire sale prices? I cannot see how Boeing can survive. Certainly the name may do but it will be part of the assets acquired by some company as part of the bankruptcy sale. The major asset is probably the type certificate and spare parts tooling for the thousands of older models that will be flying for years to come.
