That's what am suspecting here to be the case as well. I understand am venturing on tinfoil hat territory, and without any scintilla of evidence to support what's essentially a gut feeling.

I hope that my nutty imagination is false because if it isn't, I would want the Chinese government to search, hunt, eliminate the saboteurs from every corner of the earth, not just China.

Any chance this is another similar 737 Max accident? Should all 737 be grounded now?

Also after the Eurowings incident all US airliners require a flight attendant in the cockpit whenever a pilot leaves the flightdeck for restroom breaks etc....

One time I got up too quickly during one of these things (to use the lavatory in the rear) and a undercover marshal almost tackled me to the ground

Would be interesting to see the passenger list of the plane to check if there was an important person there.

Accidents are accidents but we should also consider the possibility of a conspiracy.

the 737 fiasco has exposed the ugly face of greed. Boeing knows they have long exhausted the 60 years old frame, but developing a new frame costs money and time. so they moved to inherently unstable design, and let the autopilot take control.

It's also driven by competition from Airbus, if they tried to design a new air frame to compete with A320NEO, by the time they finished (you are talking like 10 years to design a new plane) Airbus would have ALL the market share for narrow body. So Boeing really didn't have a choice.

What they did have a choice in is the criminal way they implemented the MCAS, and how their relationship with the FAA.

Edit: also it's not "inherently unstable", it's stable but feels different to fly at high AOA.

They did away with triple redundancy philosopy...

It had always been THREE seperate independent everything from gps, to IRU/IRS to FMC to autopilot systems... but with MAX and MCAS, they used a single AoA sensor as input, a single point of failure. So anything wrong with the sensor say it froze or broke and it was game over for that airplane
