So, is it possible that the 737 Max’s that crashed after takeoff in Ethiopia and other foreign airliner could have been due to sabotage and not Boeings mechanical mistakes?
I’m not an aeronautics expert.
That said, the 737 Max is reported to have had a difficult-to-override system that depends critically on correct velocity readings. Further, that system wasn’t very robust.
I don’t know if an ordinary 737 has that.
Also, I seem to remember that one of the MAX crashes—I think it was the one in Indonesia, had some history on the airplane. The flight before ran into difficulty, and said the sensors weren’t right. The maintenance of them appears to have been questionable, and I don’t think the pilots on the doomed flight knew the history. Sabotage? Maybe, but probably not—it sounds like the 737 Max was an accident waiting to happen.
“could have been due to sabotage and not Boeings mechanical mistakes?”
Nah. Boeing screwed the pooch.
Nope.
Even without sabotage, MCAS was a catastrophe waiting (but not for long) to happen.
