American company Boeing, the world’s biggest manufacturer of airplanes, hopes its best-selling Boeing 737 MAX will soon return to the skies. That hope seems unlikely. Airline companies and flight safety officials around the world ordered the 737 MAX grounded after two of the planes crashed. On Wednesday, new information was released about the minutes leading up to the crash of a Lion Air passenger jet last October. The jet came down in the Java Sea shortly after leaving Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital. The Reuters news agency says the new information appears to show the plane had a serious flaw. Experts believe the plane’s automated system may have forced the nose of the aircraft downward. They said this appears to have caused both the Lion Air crash and the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines jet on March 10. The two crashes killed 346 people.
