Two crashes, in Indonesia in October 2018 and in Ethiopia in March 2019, killed 346 people aboard Boeing’s 737 Max and led to the worldwide grounding of the plane. |

This is not an easy time for the Boeing executives, or for that matter, the maintenance and or service crew or whatever they're called. They won't get a job as a bus mechanic after this series of events I suspect.
