Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302

On 10 March 2019, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, a Boeing 737 MAX 8, crashed six minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa, killing all 157 people on board. The crash was caused by a faulty angle-of-attack sensor that triggered the MCAS system, repeatedly forcing the nose down. The pilots followed emergency procedures but could not regain control due to high speed and aerodynamic forces on the stabilizer. The accident occurred less than five months after a similar crash of Lion Air Flight 610, leading to a worldwide grounding of the 737 MAX. The final report confirmed MCAS as the probable cause, with the NTSB later noting that proper crew management could have recovered the aircraft.
