Should they just kept them flying and crashing saying "well it's a perfctly flying airplane, there should not be reason for them to just fall apart mid-air"?

Ground and make sure it's not mcas related first. If it's something completely unrelated, lift the ban if it seems appropriate. In the mean time, everybody is gambling with people's lives.
And running a high risk as well. Imagine, FAA doesn't ground and the next one falls out of the sky above L.A. The FAA will be sued, and rightly so!
