Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed in 2019 due to MCAS malfunction, killing all 157; led to global 737 MAX grounding.
Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, a new Boeing 737 MAX 8, crashed on March 10, 2019, minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa, killing all 157 on board.
A malfunction in the MCAS system caused uncommanded nose-down movements, overwhelming the crew despite attempts to stabilize the aircraft and disable the system.
The plane descended rapidly, crashing at nearly 500 mph into a field, with debris scattered over 30 miles.
The U.S. NTSB found that following existing procedures could have allowed recovery.
The crash, linked to a similar 2018 Lion Air incident, led to a global 737 MAX grounding from March 2019 to December 2020, and a brief re-grounding in January 2024.
Boeing admitted MCAS contributed to the disaster, facing major financial and reputational damage.
